Northern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis Mr. Bowling Ball™)

The native region of Northern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis), and therefore also the cultivar ‘Mr. Bowling Ball™’, is **eastern North America**.

More specifically, it’s found in:

* **Southeastern Canada:** Primarily Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
* **Northeastern United States:** Primarily Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

So, while the *cultivar* ‘Mr. Bowling Ball™’ might have been bred and developed in a nursery somewhere (possibly even outside this native range), its genetic origin lies firmly within that northeastern North American region.
