Identification of Windbreak Tree?

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Eddie Beddingfield City: Winchester, IL
I have some sort of evergreen tree that is all around the edges of my timber.I have been told they are Juniper,But what kind?They seem to grow a few feet a year and put in a row makes an excellent windbreak.These are also found commonly along Scott county roads from 6" to 8' plus.Any idea what version these may be? Thanks

Hi Eddie: This species is more than likely eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana). Best, Jay
