You'd be surprised how recent those cedars might be, my friend. When we bought our farm in 1976, it was covered in little cedar seedlings, most less than a foot tall. The seller told us they had sprouted since the last year, and we should bushhog them so they didn't grow. Well, it took my stepfather a couple of years to get a tractor and bushhog, and those trees never got bushhogged. Those same trees were getting to be well over a foot in diameter the last time I saw them, which was probably ten years ago. It only took about 30 years for them to go from seedlings to as big as the ones you have there.
I know if you buy cedar, even rough cut. It's ridiculously expensive.
But you sell your logs, mills don't want to pay you anything for your logs. Then they want you to deliver the logs.
That's the same for all trees!
They make good posts the don't rot
Thanks for the info. I've got quite a few on my land. We're slowly thinning them out, nice to know that there is a market.
Love ceder trees. Built two cabins out of them.
I'm gonna have juniper lines with lots of male and female northern white cedars between the junipers an red maples
I live in Kentucky. And i have some cedars anywhere from 49 inch around up to 67 inches around.
Thanks for sharing, i've kept some cedar an white pine that's really close together for water shed for animals get up under for extra shelter.
Bird has a job, poop has a job, seed has a job.
DInosaurs (birds) and Red Cedars history go back far
I wish that were the situation on my place. The cedars suck up all the water from the ground and the other trees never get a chance to get any growth on. I'm planning on doing the same thing and getting them all culled out.
Well juniper trees are pretty good to have for awhile til you need the wood I collect cedar and juniper
So the sheep clear the bottoms out? My friend's goats were too stubborn to switch sides of the yard around the pond. Great idea for clearing!
Cedar chest protect clothing from moths.
In Iowa. If you harvest trees to a certain degree, then it is considered a crop that you have to report to the state for tax purposes.
Great info, do you guys have any problems with wild hogs ?
DOODY!!!
Yes get rid of em.... I'm a biology major and I hate mountain cedar trees. They are a burden to other trees and a burden to people. Where I live there was going to be a program to clear a lot of them out however there was concern about two bird species that make their home on them that are on somewhat of a decline. That project was scraped because of that.
