I love common plant names :roll::roll:. Atlantic White Cedar isn't a Juniper nor really a Cedar it's Chamaecyparis thyroides most commonly known as Cypress or Falsecypress. It is a common timber on the eastern coastal fringe. I would guess that the lumber that Jack is talking about is Eastern Red Cedar, a timber more common around the area he resides. ERC isn't really a Cedar either it's Juniperus virginiana, a Juniper. And then that brings me to what we all call Cypress which is Taxodium spp.
Cedar and Cypress are common names that refer to many genus of trees. Interesting that a "true" Cedar is Cedrus and there are only two true species in that genus. Cedar of Lebanon and Deodar Cedar with a few regional variations as subspecies.
And the only true Cypress is Cupressus and more losely Chamaecyparis. The Cupressus genus contains many species that are not found in N. America, but the most commonly found (and sadly so) is the Leyland Cypress - Cupressus leylandii.
