SILVER 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.

Planting Tips ⓘ

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.
