Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) seeds are small, typically about the size of a pea, and have a hard, woody exterior. These seeds are known for their ability to germinate successfully in a range of environments, making them an excellent choice for planting. Eastern Red Cedar trees are evergreen conifers that can grow to heights of 30-40 feet, featuring a conical shape and dense, scale-like foliage. The tree is valued for its fragrant wood, which is resistant to decay and often used in furniture making and for fence posts. In terms of cultivation, the seeds require a period of stratification (exposure to cold temperatures) to encourage germination. Once planted, they can thrive in various soil types and are drought-tolerant, making them suitable for different landscapes. They are often used for privacy screens, windbreaks, or as ornamental trees in residential gardens due to their attractive appearance and aromatic foliage.
