RED CEDAR continued from 45
for the apple rust and is typically removed from orchards. A local apple hobbyist we know is tolerant and lets them grow along fencerows on his property.
Many log home owners in northern regions use the tall, straight white cedar for building. They know to cut the tree in mid-summer when the outer bark is pliable, soft and wet underneath. It can be easily removed from the tree, sometimes in long strips, using peeling spuds or scraper blades. Logs are left to dry, stacked for a year to season, then are ready for building. In its more southern range, the red cedar is used for fence posts, furniture, pencils, and long bows.
The red cedar is a welcomed sight as we travel along Brown County roads. Watch this winter for snow to gather on its branches with bare ground underneath, and know that for any wild critter— four-legged, or winged— the thick, dense branching will be a refuge in the wind and cold. And the green branches with blue berries will add
color this winter to our rolling, wooded landscape.
