Funny, I was just driving through a rural hamlet nearby and notice some cedars in the front yard just as you mentioned...pretty tall and tree-like....but not a single brach below 5'.
A lot of the Maine hunters I follow are always talking about tracking deer into cedar swamps, and I really wasn't sure what they were talking about as we don't have it growing wild locally anywhere. Went down the rabbit hole so to speak. My land is very Maine-like in almost every way and I wondered if I could get it to grow.
In researching eastern white cedar I discovered that it is disappearing from its range it's thought mostly due to higher deer numbers.
