Eastern red ceder makes excellent posts. The key is the amount of red present. Ceder that grows quickly, on good ground, has a lot of white and a small red center. These make really poor posts. Ive got a section of fence we built in 1990, good solid heartwood posts, about 10 inches in diameter. The outside 2 inches or so thats white wood is starting to get soft, the red centers still perfect. Thats about typical for these posts. If you use class I galvanized wire the posts and fence fail about the same time. If you use the good class III wire, then about 25 years in, restretch and restaple the fence and its good another 20.
