Excerpt from Production of Red Cedar for Pencil Wood
Open-grown cedar is of little value for commercial use except for posts and poles. It has a wide and heavy crown, a bole that is rough and fluted, with almost no clear length, and limbs SO close together that no pencil block can be Obtained. Between them.
The root system of cedar varies with the soil depth, but is usually very shallow and widely branched.
