Zone: 2SILVER EASTERN REDCEDAR
Juniperus virginiana 'Glauca' is commonly referred to as Silver Eastern Red Cedar. It is a low maintenance and soil tolerant, upright variety that has silvery blue scale-like foliage and abundant blue berries to keep the songbirds singing. Foliage turns more bronze in winter months. The bark is reddish-brown, fibrous and peels in narrow strips on mature trees. The wood is used for cedar chests and closets due to its natural insect resistance.
Silver Eastern Red Cedar is slow-growing and long lived. It is deer and rabbit resistant and thrives in full sun in average, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water. It can be drought tolerant once established. It is tolerant of urban pollution and can thrive in city environments.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure the best foliage color and density. These evergreen shrubs are incredibly durable and heat-tolerant, though they require consistent water during the first season until the root system is well established; thereafter, they are notably drought-tolerant.
Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to manage size or remove dead wood, but avoid aggressive shearing that exposes the inner woody stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
