from light to dark green. There are several selected varieties with
different and useful characteristics; glauca has gray-green foliage,
Burki is a narrow upright form with bluish-white foliage, Hilli is a
dense, narrow-pyramidal form with needle-like green leaves, and
Canaerti is an irregular pyramidal form which provides an abundance
of bluish-white berries.
 Southern and eastern red-cedars are subject to attack by juniper
blight, a fungus disease that browns and kills interior leaves, twigs
and branches of affected trees. Spider mites also attack both species,
causing leaves to turn rusty-brown. Mite damage is most serious
during hot, dry weather. Red-cedars are difficult to transplant, and
balled and burlapped or container-grown specimens are recommended
for best results.
 Cedars thrive on limestone, sandy and well-drained soils and grow
best in full sunlight, but will tolerate light shade. They are useful
as windbreaks, specimen, accent and street trees, in woodland and
naturalistic plantings, formal areas and as large clipped hedges. Both
species are moderately to highly salt tolerant and are recommended
for seaside use.
