Around the seedling, regularly pull weeds by hand. Avoid using a weed-eater near the tree, to ensure there is no damage to either the trunk or the limbs. If weeds are left unchecked, they can potentially sap away much needed moisture and nutrients from the sapling. Further, taller weeds could block sunlight. Overgrown weeds are the primary cause of death for young seedlings. Do not dig up roots deeper than 3 inches (7.62cm). Landscape fabric with accompanying mulch can also be used to combat weed issues. The cedar tree can often get galls, which are brain or mop shaped fungi. This can lead to cedar-apple rust with surrounding trees in the apple family. If there is no location for the fungi to go, then it will terminate on the cedar tree. The best way to manage this infection is to trim the galls, then spray with a fungicide like Ferbam in late summer. If the tree is being attacked by a lot of bugs, it could be exposed to too much water, and dying from underneath. Use an insecticide like malathion to treat the tree. the soil around the tree as needed. Fertilizers will be necessary when there is poor growth less than 6 inches (15.24 cm) per year or if there is severe discoloration. If the poor growth is the only problem, then nitrogen-heavy fertilizer should work. Other problems are more closely related to nutrient deficiencies, and require a soil sample to examine the pH level. Trees have greatest growth in spring, so fertilize just before then. If the soil is sandy, some fertilizer can be applied earlier in spring, with a later application in late May. Fertilizer during hot conditions should be immediately followed by a thorough watering. Until the trees are mature, they are susceptible to wintering deer and rabbits. A wire mesh cage works well to disinterest foragers. To effectively counteract deer, the fencing should encompass the tree just around the canopy, and low enough so the animals can't squeeze under. It should also be anchored to the ground so the animals can't knock it aside.
