Eastern Red Cedar Trees for Sale

Scientific Name: Juniperus virginiana

The Eastern Red Cedar is a large evergreen tree that can reach up to 50 feet in height. It has a straight, fluted trunk and a dense, narrow crown of dark green foliage. This tree is known for its screening capabilities and its ability to attract wildlife, as it produces blue berries. It is native to the northern and eastern parts of Texas and is often used as a windbreak.

The foliage of the Eastern Red Cedar Tree varies in shades of green and may develop a purple to brownish cast during the winter months. These trees require full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth. They can tolerate a wide range of soil pH and are adaptable to dry, rocky conditions. However, they become open and leggy in shaded areas. It is important to note that Eastern Red Cedar Trees are susceptible to cedar-apple rust.

In terms of their range, they are scattered throughout East Texas, stretching north and west to Wichita county and south to Colorado county. You can identify the Eastern Red Cedar Tree by its dark green, scale-like leaves that clasp the twig in four ranks, giving the appearance of a square twig. The fruit of the Eastern Red Cedar is a dark blue, berry-like cone with a waxy coating and sweet flesh enclosing one or two seeds. The bark of the tree is thin, reddish-brown, and peels off in long, shredding strips, while the wood has a distinct red or red-brown heartwood and white sapwood. The wood is aromatic, soft, strong, even-textured, and highly durable, making it suitable for various applications such as posts, poles, millwork, paneling, and pencils.

  Joe and his crew just finished a four tree project and it turned out better than I could have ever wished for. We met Joe at his farm and his selection of trees and knowledge of trees is outstanding. He took time to drive us around explaining different trees and what would work best for us. When it came time to plant them, Joe was on site and helped us finalize the best location for them which really helped. If you need any trees, don't hesitate to call them. You won't be disappointed!

  I bought a big Cedar Elm from them, had it delivered, and installed in the spring. It only took about 1-2 hours to complete the installation. The tree looks great in the front yard. I've had no issues with it and it's been so rainy I have not needed to water much. Would recommend, very professional. 👍 Edit: If you plan to visit, make sure to map out directions before you go. The GPS can be spotty out there.

  If you are looking for trees, you can't go wrong with TxGrownTrees in Mexia! David and Joe and their crew are excellent. We were looking for a nice Bald Cypress tree and got one and a beautiful Crepe Myrtle! Joe spent a lot of time showing us everything they had on Saturday. On Tuesday morning they delivered our choices and did such a great job planting them. Not only was the pricing very competitive and the  customer service top notch, but we feel that we have made new friends as well! Give them a call - you won't be disappointed.

  Very happy with purchase and customer service.  Our trees arrived safely from 90 minutes away!  We even got another tree we own diagnosed with canker. Highly recommend!

  We visited Texas Grown Tree Farm. Joe took the time to take us around to view all the trees and we picked out the ones we wanted.  We purchased 5 trees that day.  We scheduled a time for our trees to be delivered and planted.  Joe was prompt and made sure we had our trees before Thanksgiving.  Joe's crew arrived and the planting went as scheduled and the trees look good.  Joe has a 1 year warranty on his trees, which is an awesome benefit. At that time we discussed transplanting 2 trees from our pasture to our yard closer to our house.  He made plans to move them for us, hopefully it will be done within a couple of weeks. G. Hall

  We are so glad to have found Texas Grown Tree Farm!! After previous go-rounds with other tree/landscape companies here in Central Texas, we believed we were destined to have the ugliest trees and lawn in our neighborhood. Nothing looked good and everything started dying as soon as it was installed. Fortunately we happened upon Texas Grown and Joe!!! He answered all our questions, gave us some excellent advice, and promised that we'd be very happy once the job was finished. When we told him we were scheduled to be out of the country for 6 weeks, he said it was no problem and that he would see to everything! We were nervous while we were away that we'd come home to another disappointment, but far from it!! When we pulled into the driveway, we saw our freshly sod and leveled Bermuda grass lawn and the three Japanese Pistache trees we had ordered -- all looking healthy and fantastic! And this in the middle of a drought with watering restrictions! Everything that Joe promised - and more - greeted us, including the sprinkler system having been adjusted to meet the City's restrictions! We couldn't be happier with Texas Grown - and Joe and his team - so much so that we've arranged for him/his team to do some other installations for us!! Do yourself a favor if you're having sod and/or tree issues: get in touch with Texas Grown Tree Farm!! You won't be disappointed!

  Joe was excellent about taking us around the tree farm and helping us choose trees. They were friendly, professional, and very knowledgable. Joe gave us a lot of 'helpful hints', too! The team came and planted all seven trees and did a great job in the sweltering heat. We are very pleased.
