The Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree native to eastern North America. It typically grows between 30 to 40 feet tall and features scale-like leaves that are green to blue-green in color. The tree is known for its aromatic wood, which is resistant to decay and often used for making furniture, fence posts, and cedar chests. This species thrives in a variety of soil types and can tolerate drought conditions, making it a resilient choice for landscaping. The Eastern Red Cedar also produces small, blue berries that serve as a food source for birds and other wildlife, contributing to local ecosystems.
