Red Pine vs Eastern Red Cedar

Red Pine is a large evergreen with an open, rounded crown and red bark when mature. This long-lived tree thrives in well-drained soils. Red Pine makes an attractive landscaping tree for larger properties.

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.
