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.
Eastern Red Cedar will attract wildlife to your yard and provide food and shelter for multiple varieties of birds. If you are on the east coast looking to create a windbreak, consider Eastern Red Cedar.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Eastern Red Cedar seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Serbian Spruce is a medium-sized evergreen. Even in the absence of competition, Serbian Spruce has a slender form.
It is commonly used as an ornamental tree due to its columnar shape. Serbian Spruce can grow on a variety of sites, but it prefers moist drained soils.
