Overview

Juniperus virginiana, commonly known as the Eastern Red Cedar, is a robust coniferous evergreen. It features dense, aromatic foliage and a conical to columnar shape, maturing at 30-65 feet tall and 8-25 feet wide. This native tree thrives in zones 2-9, preferring full sun. Its berry-like cones attract wildlife, while withstanding poor soil and drought. Ideal for windbreaks and privacy screens with its resilient, low-maintenance character.
