Description

This gnarled old tree trunk stands like a century old sentry guarding a roadside in southern Sussex County, Delaware. One can only imagine the stories it could tell if it could hear and remember the conversations of everyone who passed by over the years.

This dead tree appears to be an Eastern Red Cedar, which actually is neither red nor a cedar, Juniperus Virginiana. When they die, the leave behind those bleached skeletons and look quite different from Bald Cypress. They're real common in the mid-Atlantic, especially in poor soil, roadsides, sandy places and highway cuts and can survive dwarfed, for ages, in places where other trees do not do well. Being rot resistant, those dead trunks hang around for a long time. The red cedars are survivors. There are a lot of red cedars on Delmarva, the Eastern Shore, where soil is sandy.
