White cedar leaf is boiled down into cedar leaf oil.
A fellow that does that sells the oil in 45 gallon drums for 50g per drum wholesale.
Takes a few dumptruck loads of cedarleaf for a drum of oil.
Small 1oz bottles of cedarleaf oil sell for $20 retail.

Juniper is a large family of conifers that have a circumpolar distribution in the northern hemisphere. They are even used as an herb for flavored food or gin.

Cypress has similar issues as does many others like Douglas Fir which is not a fir.

There is lots of confusion across the board in the local names of conifers.

Heck, we got one down here called a Spruce Pine. It's a yellow pine that looks more like a white pine than a yellow one and a true spruce wouldn't survive our heat.

Slight correction, blue spruce are often planted as ornamentals in the upper south but they are short lived.

Maybe one of our lure makers could chime in on that theory?

Cedars definetely have a noticeable aroma

Eastern red cedar where I live is the life blood of the community. 4 sawmills in a 5 mile radius that mills them.

I think it may differ in different parts of the country. Here Eastern White Cedar is important for the deer in the winter. They will yard up in the Cedar groves where there is less snow and I is often a degree or two warmer there.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have never heard the term "circumpolar" used before, but I knew exactly what it meant the second I heard it. Thanks

My wife absolutely detests cedar trees.. because of the fact that during our first Christmas together,, we had no money, so I found a cedar tree for a Christmas tree. She was vacuuming pieces of cedar out of the shag carpet for weeks.. lol

Dad and I were just discussing this.

He said he remembered going out and cutting cedars for Christmas.

Told him that my most memorable Christmas was my third one and a big cedar tree all lit up in the living room and that we made out like bandits that year.

He smiled at that for some reason.

I wouldn't say lifeblood but there is a market for them from time to time. We got one bottom on our homeplace that is thin soil over soft limerock where cedar thrives. Matter of fact we call it the cedar thicket. We leave it alone until the local buyers put out a call for it.
