Red Star Cedar – 1 Gallon Pot

Other Names:  Red Star Atlantic White Cedar, Red Star White Cypress, Rubicon White Cedar, Rubicon White Cypress

---

A slow growing conifer with a fluffy appearance and narrow columnar form, the Red Star Cedar displays soft, blue green foliage with star-shaped leaves that turn to a very attractive shade of plum purple with dusty pinkish to red cast during the cool season. Adding maybe 4 inches in height per year, all grown up you can expect it to reach maybe 5 feet tall and 1.5 feet wide in 10 years and 15 feet in 25 years. Its narrow form lends well to use as an evergreen accent tree in small garden spaces or centerpiece in containers. Red Star provides eye-catching color, texture and form to the landscape composition.

The Red Star Cedar is very easy to grow in a well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day for best color. It is moderately drought tolerant but will appreciate an occasional watering during prolonged periods of dry weather. Otherwise, maintenance is minimal. No pruning is required. Provide a light application of slow release shrub & tree fertilizer in spring.
