Red-cedar Christmas trees

  We are working at clearing an overgrown pasture and it has a lot of red-cedars growing in it that look to be a good size to use for Christmas trees this year.  If you're not familiar with what red-cedars look like, here is a link with some pictures.  Red-cedars smell very nice.  We have decorated red-cedar Christmas trees multiple times and they are the traditional tree in our area for those who would go cut their own instead of buying a tree from the mountains.  These trees were never sprayed.  And they have been growing in the open which means they are their natural form, not pruned to be shaped like perfect cones (for better or worse, depending on what look you want.)
