- Appearance: Eastern red cedar is a small to medium-sized tree with a conical to columnar shape. It features scale-like leaves that are dark green in color, with a bluish cast on the younger growth. The tree's name comes from the reddish-brown bark that peels off in thin strips.
- Berries: Female eastern red cedar trees produce small, berry-like cones known as "juniper berries." These berries are bluish-purple in color and are a valuable food source for wildlife, including birds such as cedar waxwings and various small mammals.
- Wildlife Habitat: Juniperus virginiana provides important habitat and food for a variety of wildlife species. Birds often use the dense foliage for nesting, and the berries are a winter food source when other food is scarce. The tree also provides cover and shelter for wildlife.
- Durable Wood: The wood of eastern red cedar is highly prized for its durability and resistance to decay and insect damage. It is often used for making outdoor furniture, fences, and rustic cedar chests. The wood's pleasant aroma is another notable feature.
- Historical Uses: Native American tribes and early European settlers in North America used various parts of the eastern red cedar for medicinal, culinary, and practical purposes. The tree's wood was employed in constructing shelters, while the berries were used for flavoring and as a source of vitamin C.

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
