Economic uses. Wood light, brittle, close-grained, works easily, 
durable, sap wood thin and white, heart wood dull red, fragrant. 
Representative uses are posts, crossties, lead pencils, cigar boxes 
and chests. In this State when the trees become large enough 
they are generally used for fence posts. This species furnishes a 
large number of the commercial fence posts of the State; although 
they are shipped in, usually from Tennessee. 
Horticultural value. It has been used for a long time as an orna 
mental tree and nurserymen now offer several horticultural vari- 
eties. It is adapted to almost all kinds of soils, although its prefer- 
ence is for a thin gravelly soil. It transplants with fair success, 
grows slowly and is long lived. The tree grows rather compact and 
since the leaves do not fall for several years it makes a desirable 
tree to plant for a windbreak. A rust which affects the leaves of 
apples and pears passes its winter stage on this tree and causes the 
malformations on the twigs known as “‘cedar apples.’ Since the 
tree is a harbor for this fungus, it should not be permitted to grow 
near an orchard.
