Red-cedars are one of my favorites and this is the best I¹ve ever seen.
Great photos, Barry.

Subject: [ENTS] Very old Red Cedar found today
Today I had a day off from my job at the cranberry farm, and my parents
invited me to take a ride with them up to Long Beach Island, off the New
Jersey coast. My mother grew up there, spending every summer there as a
child. She wanted to see the house she grew up in (which we also visited
when I was young). We also stopped to look at Harvey Cedars Bible
Conference, which is the former Loveladies Hotel. Harvey Cedars is the more
modern name for Loveladies, if I remember my history correctly. The hotel is
quite old. Right next to it I found this very old Eastern Red Cedar. This
tree has tons of character. I love it! Without anything to measure the
circumference with, I estimated it to about 10 feet, give or take. The
height must be about 20 feet, not a tree for you tall-tree guys. So the
hotel and the tree are both very old. Hope you enjoy the photos. This is in
Ocean County, NJ, and east of the Pine Barrens.

P.S.- I also shot 8 minutes of video (partly narrated) on the beach, showing
shells and the crashing waves. That will be uploaded to Youtube tonight.
