We saw lots of cedar trees on our drive last week.
They grow like weeds here in Iowa.
On Wikipedia I read that cedars are junipers and can live to be 850 years old. I wonder if that's really true. It also mentioned their aromatic wood which is used to make cedar chests. I know that's true for I have one.

Lucky for me, goats enjoy eating them. :-)
We have cedar growing like wildfire here too. I had NO IDEA they could live to be that old!!! Thanks for sharing that info. I am learning so MUCH today...just learned what a sundog is. I just LOVE blogging!!!
It's just about cedar fever season here. Those of us who are allergic to their pollen hate to see them-they're definitely weeds to us! My husband cut down the three on our property this week-he's looking for something to make out of the wood-it is pretty.
We had a lot of ceder trees in western Oregon. I do know they are a slow growing tree. I do love the aroma they give off.
Nice Photos.
We have cedars at the higher elevations here in northeastern Nevada. We have used the wood while camping a few times. Always smells nice.
