@Sharon that tree is amazing. Thank you for sharing it and your beautiful writeup. I have a few questions about this tree I hope folks can help with.
We'd like to plant this tree as a wildlife-friendly specimen tree in one spot, specifically the Emerald Sentinel variety, which grows to 15-20 ft, so more manageable, with a spread to about 8 ft. It's a female variety, so can provide berries eaten by birds and mammals, and provides shelter for many birds. Will we need to plan a male tree near it, and which variety can we plant near it that we can keep manageable in size?
Second use is as a hedge, and I found out from a wholesale dealer they have straighter varieties of Eastern Red Cedar for use as hedges. As a hedge, can we keep it pruned to 6 ft high? We've seen photos of this, but wanted to check.
