This eastern red cedar cultivar is a broad, slow-growing, evergreen shrub with a compact, wide-spreading habit. The dimensions of 'Grey Owl' are around three feet tall and six feet wide. It features scale-like, silver gray foliage. This is a female form which produces glaucous, berry-like cones which are attractive to birds. It's easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun, though it's tolerant of a wide variety of soils. It's also tolerant of wind and of many city air pollutants.
