Grow a resilient North American native with these 100 Eastern Red Cedar seeds. This hardy evergreen conifer is valued for windbreaks, privacy screens, wildlife habitat, bonsai, and ornamental plantings.

Eastern Red Cedar forms a dense, pyramidal crown and can reach 40–80 feet tall with a spread of 8–15 feet. Its aromatic foliage ranges from gray-green to blue-green and may bronze slightly in winter. The reddish-brown fibrous bark adds year-round interest.

Female trees produce small blue berry-like cones that are an important food source for birds and wildlife. Highly adaptable, this species tolerates drought, heat, wind, cold, and poor soils, making it an excellent choice for challenging landscapes and large-scale plantings.

Historically used for fence posts, cedar chests, carvings, and pencils, Eastern Red Cedar remains a dependable and versatile evergreen tree.
