A fast, narrow native cedar that builds a tough, year-round privacy column in tight spaces.

The Brodie Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana 'Brodie') is a selected cultivar of our native red cedar, prized for its upright, tightly columnar form. Soft, dense, scale-like foliage holds a rich green that takes on a bronze cast in cold weather, and its fast growth rate means a screen fills in quickly. Maturing at 25 to 45 ft. tall but just 6 to 10 ft. wide, it stacks vertical privacy into a narrow footprint, making it a natural for property lines, windbreaks, and screening where a wide tree simply won't fit.

Why growers choose the Brodie

  • Fast, narrow privacy. A quick grower with a tight columnar habit, it delivers tall screening without the sprawl of wider evergreens.
  • Year-round green. Dense evergreen foliage screens through all four seasons and carries an attractive bronze tint in winter.
  • Genuinely tough. As a native juniper it shrugs off drought, heat, poor soils, and coastal salt once established.
  • Deer-resistant. Unlike arborvitae, junipers like Brodie are seldom browsed, a real advantage in deer country.
  • Wide cold-hardiness. Reliable from USDA zones 3 through 9, it performs across a broad sweep of the country.

Set Brodie in a row for a living privacy hedge or windbreak, line a driveway for vertical structure, or plant a single specimen as a slender evergreen accent. Its narrow form and toughness also suit it to challenging spots where space and soil are limited.
