Also known as Virginia Juniper, Red Juniper, Pencil Cedar, Carolina Cedar, Red Savin, and Baton Rouge, this evergreen, fragrant tree varies in color from gray-green to blue-green to light or dark green. It grows 30 to 40 feet tall typically, though it can reach up to 90 feet, with soft, silvery bark covering the single trunk. Growing in full sun to shade, and in dry soils, it is the most widely distributed eastern conifer, and is resistant to extremes of drought, heat, and cold. Pale blue fruits on female plants, combined with dense foliage make this plant excellent for birds.
