Texas cedars and the many names of the Hill Country cedar
The author tracks how Texas cedars acquire numerous regional names from dam cedar to fence post cedar and notes the variety of species across Texas. He cites Correll and Johnston and lists eight juniper and cedar species with locations from Trans-Pecos to Bastrop and Bastrop’s Lost Pines, then reflects on a lifetime in cedar brakes and a dog named in the hills.
