Oh yeah, I've seen those. I didn't think of them as cedars, but I don't think I've looked at them closely. I knew the names of most of the trees, and many of the plants, that grew in the UP of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin, and, since many of the same plants grow here in Maine, I am familiar with a lot of them too, but I worked long hours while I was in Texas, so I didn't spend a lot of time in nature. Most of the vegetation in Texas had thorns or other painful features, it seemed.
Thank you everyone …it sad if we have to cut it down while we are still young enough to do so but we are afraid of it getting too large …. we cut it back on the street about 2 years ago but it never produced new greenery .,.just dead looking wood …. But survival of living things is pretty amazing ….the tree sorta grew / wrapped new greenery around the damaged cut back area
I was labeled a ground cover that would grow up to 1.5 mtrs tall in 10 years @Yvonne Smith It’s never produced any berries to make it easy to identify
I took a sample of the tree I asked about to a very large garden centre in Adelaide today along with iPad photos And one of the horticulturists identified it as this ….Who said it was a likely a Cyprus ? @Ken Anderson I think Well that’s what it is This garden centre is in the outskirts of Adelaide built on acreages its huge . https://www.virginianursery.com.au/info/virginia-nursery-history
