Juniperus virginiana | 1-year seedlings, 4–8"
Eastern redcedar is a native evergreen commonly used in windbreaks, wildlife habitat plantings, and erosion control projects. Adapted to droughty, infertile, and challenging growing conditions, it provides year-round cover for wildlife while its berry-like cones serve as an important food source for many bird species. Its dense growth and tolerance of exposed sites make it a valuable species for conservation and working-land applications.
