Thank you Carolyn. The best I ever saw was a huge one on one of the golf courses where I worked till a month ago. The idiots there cut it down, simply because it was a red cedar (It would likely have been the new state champ if it had not gotten cut down.)

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. Barry 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. -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
