About this item

You may be surprised to learn that the Southern Red Cedar is not, in fact, a Cedar at all. In reality, it is a part of the hardy juniper family.
Though these “cedars” are tough at heart, they’re soft in appearance, with feathery emerald green foliage that remains a lush green year round and requires very little maintenance.
Sometimes referred to as the Coast Juniper, Southern Red Cedar are tolerant of salt, drought, and wind. They prefer well drained, sandy soils and grow well in full to partial sun.
Though most Southern Red Cedars are pyramidal in shape and are foliated to the ground, as they age, they can become more open, revealing a textured trunk, flat top, and irregular shape.
While Southern Red Cedars are beautiful when placed along a path or driveway. They also make a great choice for a tall hedge that offers both privacy and a break from high winds or as a single planting.

Very resilient

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

They’re pretty small but you’re paying for quantity though. I’m in south Texas and planted in fall. Now was kinda worried because of the cold and how small they were. They started turning brown, but the leaves were not dry. Continued to water like normal and spring came and now they’re green, except one of them. They seem to grow pretty fast, some of them doubled over the fall and some of the others only grew a little could be the locations that factored in. Make sure the roots don’t dry out completely the first year. The way they’re growing I think they will establish well after the year is done. I was missing a few plants but they shipped them out very quickly though. Was very easy to communicate with them.

Nice

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

Style: 10 TreesVerified Purchase

Got exactly what I expected, based on the description. 10 small seedlings. From 1" to 4" tall. Nicely packed and all alive. Came fast. Obviously they need to be replanted quickly and watered and taken care of. Whether the price was good or not depends on where you live and how much plants are in your area. Rather than pay $20 for seeds and hope they grow and wait for them, I like these seedlings. Larger plants (say 1'-2' tall) where I live are roughly $20 each, if/when you can find them. Its very hard to find cedar seedlings where I live. Either you can mail in seeds, or buy 4'+ tall plants for $100 each or 1-2' for $20. I wanted more of them, and smaller (cheaper). Only bad thing is no labels, invoice or description of the product in the box. If you order several items from them, you will have to sort them out yourselves. I have a couple orders coming, but could pretty easily sort them out, so didn't ding the 5 stars.

I ordered 20 seedlings. 19 we’re healthy, had good root structure, etc. One’s trunk was “corkscrewed” and bent over. I broke it trying to straighten it for planting. I have requested, and am waiting for, a replacement.

Several died within a few days. Kept them under a grow light and watered. Sent seller an email hoping they would warranty the trees. Only crickets in the background. Save your money and go to local farm.

All 10 still thriving

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024

Style: 10 TreesVerified Purchase

I ordered these a few weeks ago came in a black starter pack of 10. I didn't like how small they were and half of them had yellow branches which made me feel like they weren't going to thrive. I started a return label and it's still active as I type this review, but I potted them and watered regularly and fertilized weekly. And the past week or so they all grew a bit and started to turn green. I'm going to keep them.
