Urban Ancients, Juniperus virginiana

Resilient reminders of Nature's tenacity, large, old Eastern Red Cedar trees can be seen scattered throughout the Urban Landscape in the Southeastern US.

They are artists themselves, their bark creating beautiful patterns and symbols.

The following photos are of cedar trunks hundreds of years old lining the streets or Urban riverbanks.

A welcome food source to birds and other wildlife, their aromatic berries are also considered to possess ethnobotanical and medicinal value.
