Eastern Red Cedar

The blue fruits on this tree are actually fleshy cones.



Often used as a screen by planting in one or two fairly dense rows. Also useful as a background tree.  Can be a specimen tree.

Tolerant of occasional/brief inundation such as can occur in storm surges.



High. Can tolerate significant and ongoing amounts of salty wind and salt spray without injury.

Birds eat the fruit-like cones and use the foliage for cover.

Calcareous soils, shell mounds, coastal hammocks, second growth on open rocky fields. Open.

• Interesting foliage, Hurricane wind resistance
