EASTERN REDCEDAR

Juniperus virginiana is commonly referred to as Eastern Redcedar, Virginia Juniper, Red Juniper, Pencil Cedar, Carolina Cedar or Red Savin. This native selection is a pioneer species, which means it is one of the first trees to repopulate cleared land. It is the most common evergreen conifer found in Ohio and is long-lived with a potential to live over 900 years! It is a broadly conical, dense, evergreen conifer with horizontal branching. It is pyramidal when young and grows to 30-40 feet tall with a spread of 10 feet. It has fragrant scale-like, blue-green foliage that turns brown in winter. It produces dark purple-blue berries that are an important winter food for many birds. Bark is reddish-brown, fibrous and peels off in narrow strips.

The Eastern Red Cedar is resistant to extremes in drought, heat and cold. It thrives in full sun in average, sandy, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water.

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.
