Juniperus virginiana (Eastern red cedar): Leaves
		The evergreen foliage has a dark green or blue-green cast, often turning reddish-green in winter. The leaves are of two kinds. Needle-like leaves are 0.25 to 0.5 inches long and arranged in opposite pairs or in whorls of 3. They are sharp-pointed and diverge from the twig. Scale-like leaves are blunt-tipped, overlapping, opposite and closely appressed to the 4-sided twig.
