    Default Cedar? Juniper?


    Can anybody tell me what kind of trees these are. I don't know if they're Juniper or Cedar or something else.

    Absolutely! Last a really long time and once the needles fall off provide an outstanding structure. We use them at other times than Christmas. Christmas trees are very similar in structure.

    Great! My parents have 2 in their yard that they want gone. Each is about 15 ft wide and 18 or so tall. I think I will use them in my local private borrow pit. -The only cover in there is cattails all around and about 8-10 ft from bank. The depth is mostly in the 20 - 40 fow range. Should be a big boost for the fish.
    Thank you for the help!

    We stuck them in 5 gallon buckets filled with sackcrete then zip tied a couple of empty gallon milk containers on top to keep them upright. They work great!

    Well, not that it matters but curiosity was killing me. It seems that the trees are actually known as a Northern White Cedar. Whew... now I can sleep tonite.

    We have used ALOT of Cedar in our lake, and it holds fish almost immediately....it really provides dense cover for all the food chain.

    Actually, with its foliage still in place it hosts an even greater variety of bio- diversity although it also is durable when the greenery is slowly consumed in a few years.
