In some places it is deciduous over winter but near Yungaburra it is
leafless after the Red Cedar and some of the figs, also native, and at a
time too late to call winter. In Australia we need to adopt some other words
for the seasons. Aboriginal terms seem the way to go but we need different
sets for different parts of the continent. But back to the White Cedar, it
is a highly variable ad hence adaptable tree. Does it really occur naturally
in the Americas; I discounted Antarctica. Bloody pedants!
