I just bought a house here in Cleveland, Ohio, and there is a tall
(maybe 20
feet) bush in the front yard.

It is a Juniper, probably J. virginiana, eastern red cedar. The "seeds"
are
cones. The seeds are inside.
Iris,

Eastern redcedar isn't seen much north of Cincinnati. They are very common
here and to the south along the freeway, but thin out quickly as you go
north. I don't recall seeing them in the Columbus area let alone Cleveland.
