Kentucky Color - Cedar Eggs Berries of eastern redcedar give ready indication of tree's gender By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester Kentucky Division of Forestry Eastern redcedar is the most widely distributed, tree-sized conifer in the United States. It grows on just about any soil type but is only usually dominant on poor, shallow soils where it out performs most other species. Eastern redcedar is of course best known for its red heartwood and pleasant fragrance. The heartwood is really rot resistant and makes very long lasting fence post, insect resistant chests and closets, and is an important source of cedarwood oil which is an important component of fragrance compounding for many different products. Redcedar trees are either male or female. The cedar eggs are really cedar cones that are formed on the male trees, only. In some regions cedar cones are referred to as Juniper berries. They are a bit bitter for human consumption but are an important part of the diet of raccoons, coyotes, quail, grouse, rabbits, foxes, turkeys, skunks, opossums, etc. Fertilization of the little eggs/cones/berries takes place in early June with the color beginning as greenish and changing to greenish white, to whitish blue, to finally bluish during a period of about two months.
