Tuesday

Squirrels have been busy lining their winter homes by stripping bark from this Eastern Red Cedar - Juniperus virginiana


My Dad always brought home a small Red Cedar to use as our Christmas tree each year. It smelled wonderful but placing ornaments proved a bit painful on little hands ;0)
More information about this resilient tree is available here at this Virginia Tech - Department of Forestry site: http://www.fw.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=97
