Eastern Red Cedar Juniperus virginiana 100 Seeds
Juniperus virginiana, commonly known as eastern red cedar, is a species of coniferous tree native to eastern North America. Here's a detailed description: Appearance: Eastern red cedar is an evergreen tree that typically grows to a height of 10 to 20 meters (33 to 66 feet), though some specimens can reach up to 30 meters (98 feet). It has a conical or columnar shape with a dense crown of foliage. The bark of mature trees is fibrous and reddish-brown, peeling off in strips. The branches are densely covered with scale-like leaves arranged in overlapping pairs, giving the tree a feathery appearance. The leaves are typically dark green, but they may turn bronze or purplish in winter. Cones: Eastern red cedar produces small, bluish-purple berry-like cones known as juniper berries. These cones are round and fleshy, resembling small berries, and they are covered with a whitish, waxy coating. The cones contain seeds that are dispersed by birds, which eat the berries and then spread the seeds t
