Sad to see young cedars cut when they have so much potential.

This fellow had fairly extensive dieback all through its crown.It had a secondary shoot at the base,so we scarfed the tree up a bit higher in the hope that it will continue living.The tree wasn't carrying much sap,and indicater that it was a reasonable age,the bark was very flakey and thick..yet another indicater of a good age..given better growing conditions it may have doubled in size..was probably much older than girth suggests,as it was growing in average soil,out in the open paddock,without due care..salvage is what i do rustynail,i can't be too fussy..but i still find the gems

Red Cedar is attacked by the the lavae of a moth and I presume is partly why we rarely see these trees nowadays. Plantations of them just fail, which I also assume is why some enterprising person has not grown whole paddocks of them.
Certainly the only tree I tried to grow died.

The tip moth is responsible for the high level of damage to young cedars. The moth lays on leaves that are sun exposed, hence trees growing under a permanent shade canopy are not so susceptible to attack. When we have done plant outs, we look for the thickest over story and plant there. Trees we put in twenty years ago are doing well, with little sign of attack. Originally Posted by Bushmiller
