Brodie Southern Red Cedar is a picturesque slow-growing coniferous tree with a narrow pyramidal form and upright branching. The fine-textured aromatic scale-like foliage is bright green. If female cones are pollinated, they produce fleshy seed cones that mature to a showy white coated blue. Best planted in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought Tolerant once established.
