    Hi I purchase an Easter Red Cedar from Garden in the Woods. I now would like to add the opposite gender to get berries. I am attaching a picture taken this week of the cones on the one I Have. It's not a great picture, but are you able to tell if its male or female? Thanks@

    Answer

    Dear llsrd, good morning. As best I can tell from your image, you have a staminate plant. They appear to be pollen cones that are developing on the branchlet apices. Best wishes.
