Brodie Eastern Red Cedar – 7 Gallon Pot (4-5′)

A great alternative to Leyland Cypress, the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar, also called Brodie Juniper, is a tough and handsome fast growing evergreen conifer perfect for use in as a vertical accent, to frame corners of tall homes, or in privacy screen plantings. Unlike its parent that grows much more broad, up to 25 feet wide, Brodie has a more narrow pyramidal habit to around 25 feet tall and 10 feet wide, making it a great fit for smaller landscapes and where space is limited. Foliage is dense and dark green with a very smooth feel. While plants of the original species will vary in size and shape as they grow, we grow Brodie from cuttings, which results in clones that will provide uniformity in growth rate, form and size, provided soil conditions in the planting area are similar. As with other Eastern Red Cedars, abundant dark blue berries will adorn the foliage in late fall. Proven to be extremely low maintenance, drought tolerant, disease resistant and adaptable, it’s hard to go wrong with this tough but handsome native.
