    What state produces trees that are used for telelphone (utility) poles?

    Question #24660. Asked by Pete. (Nov 29 02 2:16 AM)

    According to http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/chathy/all.html the Atlantic White Cedar is used for telephone poles. It grows in a narrow belt along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from southern Maine to northern Florida westward to southern Mississippi. It occurs no farther than 50 to 130 miles inland. Vast stands occur in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and eastern North Carolina. Small isolated stands are more typical in much of New Jersey, Georgia, and eastern Florida, but stands are infrequent in Delaware and Maryland. The species is uncommon in South Carolina but becomes more frequent in the Florida Panhandle and in southern Alabama. At the western edge of its range in southern Mississippi, Atlantic white-cedar grow in scattered relict stands.
