By: Andy Shotts While Redwood and Cedar looked great, the in ground life was relatively short at 8-10 years. Excessive commercial logging of both Cedar and Redwood have created additional problems with these species. With old-growth Cedar and Redwood gone and out of the picture, all that’s left is farmed and second generation trees that yield lumber with even shorter in ground life span. Cedar and Redwood are also cost prohibitive, costing 3-5 times as much as Juniper. Western Juniper lumber is available in 2x6, 4x6, 5x5, 6x6, and 6x8 dimensions with lengths starting at 8’ to accommodate any outdoor door project from urban farming applications, to retaining walls and railroad tie replacement, raised beds, planter boxes, and even decking. Western Juniper is rapidly gaining popularity in organic and sustainability conscious circles for other reasons too. Western Juniper is not commercially harvested, but cut based on the needs of water table, grassland, and forest restoration projects, because of this Western Juniper lumber is considered a recycled forest product. Western Juniper, while a native species, can also become invasive under the right conditions. Following human activity since the early 1900’s Western Juniper coverage across eastern Oregon has increased from 1.5 million acres to 10+ million acres at present. Junipers removal is key to maintaining fragile high desert eco-systems.
