Red Cedar
The Eastern Red Cedar is a small evergreen that commonly grows to a height of 10-50 feet.
Its name has been misleading since it is a juniper and not a cedar. Its range is from Nova-Scotia to northern Florida, and west to the Dakotas and Texas. They can grow in any type of soil, and will take over abandoned fields and fence rows.

Black Spruce
The black spruce has pinecones. The pincones are black, and the seeds are usually a purplish-brown. Many animals such as deer, moose, and elk do not feed on this plant. The white tailed deer will only eat the saplings under starvation, but many birds eat these plant seeds. The seeds of this tree give the animal's nutrients.
