I was told that some cedars make better fence post than others. Is that because some folks cut junipers thinking they are cedars? Or the other way around?
Just curious. I have an offer to cut some cedar to finish out my fence and I don't know anything...

Red Cedar makes average fence.
Red Cedar makes good posts - White is not so neighbors just put up a fence on our common property line using cedar posts.

I like it for kindling.
It makes the best kindling, IMO for another ice storm (okay, not really…) I have a lot of Eastern Red Cedar.
I love it.
Most of my seasoned wood is red cedar.
With pops and farts.
