Brodie Juniper

The Brodie Eastern Red Cedar is a tough, tough plant, that thrives in places where other evergreens fail. It grows into a narrow, upright tree, reaching 15 feet in 10 years, and eventually 25 feet or more. It stays slender, just a few feet wide, making it ideal for screening and trimming into hedges. This native tree is a top choice for natural planting, at the edge of forest, or along the shore, and it is also beautiful enough to be grown in the most formal garden. Especially resistant to salt spray, heat and drought, it is highly recommended for beach areas, or for planting in rocky or sandy soils.

• Slender upright evergreen tree
• Attractive feathery foliage in rich green
• Ideal for screens or specimens
• Thrives in hot, dry difficult locations
• Particularly suitable for coastal areas

Best in full sun, the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar also grows in areas with a little shade for part of the day. It will grow in any well-drained soil, from beach sand to heavy clay, and once established it is very tolerant of both drought and heat. Although cold tolerant, we recommend this plant for hotter zones, where drought resistant is especially important. It is rarely bothered by pests or diseases, and deer almost never eat it. It tolerates salt spray well, from oceans or roads, and even survives brief periods of flooding with saltwater.
