Wiki Draft

Red Cedar is listed by Daniels Nursery as an upright accent juniper, not a fruiting cultivar. The catalog calls it the most widely used upright accent juniper, but says it was “not necessarily the best.” [S1]

The source gives little origin or selection history. It presents Red Cedar as native and includes it with nursery junipers on an evergreen page for landscape planting in Minnesota and the northern United States. [S1]

Its main described ornamental trait is seasonal color. Daniels says it loses its green color in fall and develops a reddish brown tinge that lasts until new growth begins in spring. [S1]

The catalog describes Red Cedar as extremely hardy. The available source gives no hardiness zone, fruit use, edible crop value, breeder, release date, parentage, or cultivar origin. [S1]
