| Notes | Hariet ; p.9 ‘Cedar, a very sweet wood & fine timber . . .”; This is probably ‘Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana L.; p.41 Radford, et al. (1968) ‘Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas’, Chapel Hill.; Less likely would be White Cedar, Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.) BSP; p.41 Radford, et al. (1968) ‘Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas’, Chapel Hill.; Both trees occur in the Dare Co. area, however, white cedar is not as fragrant or colorful, is not used to make furniture, being preferred for its light weight and resistance to rot in water, for boat building. Red cedar is much preferred for chests, etc. because of its bright colors, fragrance, and resistance to insects.; |
