Juniperus virginiana Royo

Juniperus virginiana ‘Royo’ is a refined selection of Eastern red cedar valued for its dense growth, upright habit, and improved garden performance. This cultivar offers the rugged durability of the native species with a more uniform, landscape-friendly form. It thrives in full sun and adapts easily to a wide range of soils, including dry or poor sites, with a moderate growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–9, it develops into a medium-sized evergreen tree and works well as a screen, windbreak, or native specimen.
