Spring cleaning in the yard today. Was cutting down some dead red-tips and found 11 of these ever green saplings growing beneath them.
Nothing similar is growing around here. I assume bird droppings were the source.

Not sure what they are but the wife went all tree hugger for a minute and enlisted my help relocating them to a bare section of our property line. Planted them at 10’ intervals to evenly fill the gap. Just curious if anyone knows what they are by the leaves and how big they’ll get.

A definite Charlie Brown Christmas vibe.

Looks like cedar to me also.

My guess… cedar.

Google guessed something else.

Looks like a walnut tree to me.

Or is it a pee-can tree?

My vote is cedar as well.

Eastern red cedar.

Cedar tree. Is there a wire or limb above it? Birds eat the small bluish berrys off the cedar trees and light on wire or limb and poop and next thing you know you have a cedar growing there.

I transplanted this tree from our flowerbed as a seedling six years ago. After it got about a foot tall my wife mowed over it. The tree came back with a vengeance.

Most I see don’t get much over 30’, I’ll run across one every once awhile that’s bigger. Width wise you can expect 20-30’ at maturity so they’ll grow together on 10’ centers. I’ve got some in production that I planted on 6’ centers and they’re about touching at 10’ tall.
