Juniperus virginiana
"This evergreen tree, native to eastern North America, is a dense, slow-growing tree with reddish-brown bark that peels off the trunk in thin strips. Though not a true cedar, the aromatic wood of this juniper is distasteful to moths and therefore used to make “cedar closets” and “cedar chests” for storing clothes.
