In 1865, the Eberhard Faber pencil company built a mill in Cedar Key to cut slats of southern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), which were sent to New York City to be made into pencils. The Eagle Pencil Company soon built their own mill in Cedar Key for producing cedar slats. [26] Many of the red cedar trees sent to the mills were cut in Gulf ...
Juniperus virginiana foliage and mature cones. Juniperus virginiana is a dense slow-growing coniferous evergreen tree with a conical or subcylindrical shaped crown [8] that may never become more than a bush on poor soil, but is ordinarily from 5–20 metres (16–66 feet) tall, with a short trunk 30–100 centimetres (12–39 inches) in diameter, rarely to 27 m (89 ft) in height and 170 cm (67 ...

As the trees grow and become dense and crowded again, the thinning process is repeated. Depending on growth rate and species, trees at this age may be large enough for timber milling; if not, they are again used as pulp and chips. Around year 10-60 the plantation is now mature and (in economic terms) is falling off the back side of its growth ...
The preserve is known for the 75-foot-high bluff that is covered in eastern red cedar trees that overlooks beautiful Clear Creek below. Cedar Bluffs Nature Preserve opened in 1976 and is owned by ...
They inhabit mesic sites between drier uplands and moister streams. American beech (Fagus grandifolia), white oak (Quercus alba), and cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda) are the distinguishing tree species.

In a matter of a few days, the 2021 heat dome turned many of the green leaves and needles on the region’s trees to orange, red and brown. But, as recent research suggests, tree foliage didn’t ...
Harry H. Kope and D. Trotter have shown in younger (<4 years of age) western red cedar trees that growth and yield can be affected by cedar leaf blight. [76] A decrease of 30% in stem diameter, 50% in shoot biomass and 35% in roots biomass has been recorded for blight affected trees as compared to unblighted trees in reforestation sites. [55]
