Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is easily grown in alkaline soil, dry soil to moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils and growing conditions, from swamps to dry rocky glades. It can tolerate dry sites that experience occasional drought, and road salts. Prefers moist soils but is intolerant of constantly wet soils. It has the best drought resistance of any conifer native to the eastern U.S.
