Why cedars??? Would the area sw of Tuscaloosa on 20/59 have similar soil characteristics? There sva crap load of cedars in that area.


Cedars thrive in soil high in calcium content. Big deer grow in all areas where the soil has lots of calcium, not just in the black belt. btw, i cant stand it when people post in all small letters and use exclamation points as their only type of punctuation!
