Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar
Thuja plicata is a large to very large tree, ranging up to 65 to 70 m (213 to 230 ft) tall and 3 to 7 m (9.8 to 23.0 ft) in trunk diameter. Trees growing in the open may have a crown that reaches the ground, whereas trees densely spaced together will exhibit a crown only at the top, where light can reach the leaves. It is long-lived; some individuals can live well over a thousand years, with the oldest verified being 1460 years. Quoted from Wikipedia

A fascinating tree Joe. There are quite a few in Stourhead Gardens, and I always take a picture of them, but not good enough to show on here. This is an excellent shot. Cheers, Rosa.
