Black Hills Spruce vs Eastern Red CedarPicea glauca var. densata Juniperus virginiana ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2022) 
Black Hills Spruce is a subspecies of White Spruce native to the Black Hills of South Dakota. It has a strongly conical form, slower growth rate and denser foliage than typical white spruce, making it preferable as a specimen tree for smaller suburban lawns. It also responds well to pruning, and can be used as a hedge or even bonsai.
Eastern Red Cedar is native to eastern Canada and is actually a variety of juniper, not cedar. Its pyramidal crown, low hanging branches, and dense, compact foliage makes it an ideal windbreak or shelterbelt tree. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTSEASTERN RED CEDAR QUICK FACTS
