Eastern Red Cedar
The eastern red cedar grows all over the plains of the eastern U.S., including Arkansas. The base of the eastern red cedar is narrow and the trunk is angled and buttressed. The grain of these trees is fine and the wood is pinkish, brownish to reddish in color with an appealing fragrance. Eastern red cedar trees are known for being rot-resistant, and people often use the wood to make fence posts and other structures that will need to withstand weather and pests. Eastern red cedar wood is also in high demand for furniture markets due to its hardiness and fragrance. The fragrance of this wood makes it unattractive to moths and many other insects, making it a popular choice for many gardeners and plant lovers.
