Aspects of the white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) introduction to the south of the Russian Far East are considered. The biggest plantings of the species are noted in regional introduction centers (Mount-Taiga station of the FEB RAS, Botanical Garden-Institute) as well as sanatorium «50 years of the October Revolution» (Shmakovka health resort, Primorsky Krai). Indices of growth in different points of cultivation are determined. Investigation of sowing parameters of the white cedar seeds showed high percentage of germinative energy, laboratory and technical germinating power. Long term positive experience of the white cedar introduction indicates its farther introduction to landscaping in the south of the Russian Far East.
