Did some research on this few weeks ago for this very reason. ERC is actually a Juniper and Western is a Thuja (as is the giant arborvitae). Neither are true "cedars" or cedrus. Both are good for lumber, ERC is lighter and takes a long time to rot. Westerns grow to be very large and market for...

Posted this in my projects thread as well but here’s some progress on limbing some of the trees i will harvest

Making a mess of things… south access trail and limbing bottoms of trees to harvest. Shed from buck i know as well.

Started my access trail to the grove of mature cedars Saturday morning. cut and skidded a couple megas from the pond out in the CRP for starters as well. Grapple bucket for the tractor to be delivered to farm Saturday, Can't wait to get moving on this.

Buddy brought tree puller over Saturday and carved out cedars for couple kill plots. Love seeing this take shape.

This thread came to a close yesterday at 10 am. Closed on sale of this farm and purchased 70 acres adjacent to my home farm in Randolph County. It was a nice little farm but time to move on.

Talked to the local mill guy that said he would buy my cedar. Sounds llike we have struck a deal for him to mill out all the posts for the front and back patio at the new house wife and I are building at the farm.

Went for a walk, some of these will be going to the mill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That fire was no punk. All went as planned.

I've got about 40 acres of this to work on coming soon. Like others have said, I am going to get an FMP done and then let NRCS cost share help pay for it.

I would verify this, IF they catch fire. When a fire runs through closed canopied cedar with little to no fuel on the floor they may not catch. If they catch, STAND BACK Scroll to 3:35 in this video, off in the distance but you can see that flame when they catch.
