Grow a durable and adaptable North American native with these 200 Eastern Red Cedar seeds. This hardy evergreen conifer is widely used for windbreaks, privacy screens, wildlife habitat, bonsai, and ornamental landscaping.
Eastern Red Cedar forms a dense, pyramidal crown and can mature to 40–80 feet tall with a spread of 8–15 feet. Its aromatic foliage ranges from gray-green to blue-green and may take on bronze tones in winter. The reddish-brown fibrous bark provides year-round texture and interest.
Female trees produce small blue berry-like cones that are an important food source for birds and small mammals. Highly tolerant of drought, heat, wind, poor soils, and cold temperatures, this species performs well in challenging environments and large-scale plantings.
Historically valued for fence posts, cedar chests, carvings, and pencil wood, Eastern Red Cedar remains one of the most versatile native evergreen trees.
