In virginia, we refer to only the groundcover version of cedar as juniper. I think they're closely related, but not the same species. Usually juniper grows out instead of up. Funny how local names vary so much regionally.

He is correct, what we call juniper here on the east coast is closely related to, but very different structure wise than an eastern redcedar tree, which is also called aromatic cedar in the lumber business in these parts. Around here, juniper rarely gets taller than a bush, not a tree you can mill into lumber.
