Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today, let's talk about Eastern cedar tree. Eastern cedar tree, Juniperus virginiana, is a coniferous evergreen. This tree belongs to the Cupressaceae family and is widely seen in streets and parks across North America. It grows in most soils and proliferates rapidly from seedlings, a first responder in neglected fields. It can grow up to 40 to 50 feet in height and 2 feet in width until they reach maturity. Proliferating at a medium to fast rate, can go over 8 feet tall in only 5 years when planted in well-drained soil. The tree increases around 13 to 24 every year. You should grow it in full sun with at least 6 hours of daily exposure. The aesthetic green foliage of this tree makes it a gorgeous choice among trees. From dark green to blue-green and bronze in winters, it is a sight to the eyes in all seasons. The leaves of these trees are of two types. One type is awl-like, around a half inch in length, and points away from the twig, while the other type is scaly and dull-pointed, only 1/16 of an inch long. Leaves feel sticky on the touch and fine-cut or coarse. The buds are tiny and hidden under the trees, and the twigs are four-sided and appear square. These trees can grow in almost all kinds of soil, weather, acidic, moist, loamy, silty, sandy, moist, or alkaline soil. Eastern cedar tree is for sale at TN Nursery with low prices and fast shipping.
