Juniperus virginiana, the Eastern Red Cedar, is a hardy coniferous evergreen native to eastern North America. It features a dense, pyramidal growth habit, typically reaching 30 to 65 feet in height. The aromatic foliage consists of scale-like needles that transition from dark green to a bronze tone during winter months. This resilient tree thrives in full sun and tolerates diverse soil conditions, including dry or rocky ground. Its durable, rot-resistant wood and blue, berry-like cones make it an excellent choice for windbreaks, privacy screens, and supporting various local bird species.
