Red Cedar - (pkg of 50)
- Item #: 05-0050
A medium sized, aromatic tree growing 50-80 feet in height and 12-18 inches in diameter. Eastern redcedar has the ability to grow under varying and extreme climatic conditions on a wide variety of soils ranging from dry, rocky outcrops to wet, swampy land. Like most species, eastern redcedar grows best on moist, well-drained sites. It prefers acid soil although it will grow on slightly alkaline soils as well. It is considered intolerant of shade. The crown is dense and pyramidal to columnar in shape. It provides good nesting and roosting cover for birds and its seeds are eaten by many wildlife species. When planted at close spacing, redcedar makes an excellent hedge, blind, or wind break. Eastern redcedar is one of the top five species for Christmas tree plantings. It is considered a moderate grower.
