This is one of those 'classic' trees. the kind they put in children's story books. This is a very unusual form for this tree.

The one next to it doesn't look so happy. Here is next, an easy one.

 

[Treezybreez]

That looks like one of Tom's pictures. BTW where has he been?

Juniperus virginiana?

 

[oldoakman]

I thought that too when I posted it. I was hoping to stump some of these youngsters with the atypical form. You get the prize.
