Redcedar Tree

Description

Eastern redcedar has a wide natural distribution, and grows well under various and extreme climatic conditions but prefers a sunny location. As young trees, they are pyramidal. The foliage becomes bronzy in winter on male trees and silver blue on female. The bark is shredded. Its fruits are eaten by many wildlife species. The wood is very fragrant and used to make cedar-lined chests and boxes.
