Red juniper
Juniperus virginiana
Eastern red juniper is a tough, adaptable evergreen tree that requires very little care once established in a well-drained site. It tolerates a wide range of soils and light conditions, making it an excellent choice for windbreaks, screens, or wildlife plantings. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce watering as the tree becomes drought-resilient.
