[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 388819, member: 539"] That is interesting. I know that cedars tend to be smaller, stouter, and more compact than elms, so that should give them greater strength I would think, but I could be wrong on that. What is it about oaks and hickory that enable them to withstand bad ice storms? I know oak is a hard wood, but I don't know if that is a quality inherent in the tree or if it is a trait acquired after curing. If the stories about the 'mighty oak tree' are any indication, it's inherent. I don't know the first thing about hickory trees, except for the stories about disciplining kids with the proverbial hickory switch. If those stories are true, I'm sure glad we didn't have any growing nearby when I was growing up - Dad's belt was bad enough! :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
