Juniperus virginiana

Eastern Red Cedar

This upright evergreen is usually densely pyramidal when young but becomes more pendulous with age. Its scale-like leaves have a distinct fragrance when crushed. In late summer, small, blue, 1/8" across berry-like cones form that are enjoyed by birds. Birds nest year round in the tree.
