5. Austin American Statesman editorial on January 6, 2003, presents a compelling argument for controlling mountain cedar. “Environmental advocates are a strong political force in Central Texas. They will be forceful champions of the golden-cheeked warbler, birds that sit out cedar pollen season in Mexico. But for the rest of the year in Central Texas, cedars find legal protection in the warbler's affinity for them. Though the cedars are not native to Central Texas, they are nature's quintessential freeloading relative. Not only do cedars hog space -- there are 8.6 million acres of cedar trees in Central Texas -- they drink heavily. Cedars guzzle 32 gallons of water per tree per day.”
