thought I'd point this thread out.  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109586.0

Interesting.  I personally prefer the Lebanon Cedar, personally, given that it's the most famous.

It is and it isn't; again, it's the cedar of the Bible, but the wood used for common, everyday usage (cedar chips for animal bedding, cedar chests, and so on) in most places is redcedar if only because the latter is so much more common. Redcedar has a range of around half the United States while Lebanon Cedar is found in the Middle East near the Mediterranean.

But that makes the numbers merely a change from 570 to 560, which is well within the normal variation for materials like this.  Still, that's some fascinating tree information!  Can I ask where you found those numbers?  The only source I found pegged Lebanon cedars at 580.

If we're looking for data on northern plants, I currently live in alaska and can collect a few samples in that regard.

We're still working on coming up with a representative list of trees over here:  Realistic Tree thread.  What trees do you consider iconic?

I'm in AZ, so I'd probably say that Saguaro, Mesquite, Palo Verde & Palm are what you see around here.
