Thuja plicata, commonly called western red cedar or Pacific red cedar, giant arborvitae or western arborvitae, giant cedar, or shingle wood, is a species of Thuja, an evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae native to western North America. It is not a true cedar of the genus Cedrus.

Western Red Cedar is a good all-around wand wood, with specific knacks for flying and for transfiguration, depending on what its core is, and who it bonds to. Those with Western Red Cedar wands are often playful and mischievous by nature, and Western Red Cedar wands are known to encourage this, providing a creative casting partner to the witch or wizard they chose and allowing for imaginative spell application. Western Red Cedar wands are often pale shades, unless heavily polished, and tend to gain shine when well used or used as they find fitting. Western Red Cedar is also one of the wands known for its fine self-shaping over time, often changing its shape to better suit the hand of its wizard, and in design the personality thereof.
