Old and big Virginia juniper in MD

2 months ago

Big ol' Virginia juniper (erroneously called red cedar) in St Michaels, MD. Lots of them in Washington County, MD, with its numerous limestone soils.

Yes, David, on the eastern shore. In Wash Co, MD, they can be seen in almost pure patches where there are limestone outcrops (and the resultant high pH soil). Below is an old pic of a J. virginana I took w/one of them thar new-fangled digital cameras in Columbia, MD. Looks like a miniature sequoia.

Nice find. They are so slow growing that when you find one that big, you know it has been around for a long time.

Beautiful. They grow all over here, but I've never seen one like that.

That's a nice tree.

Just to be sure, you mean the St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore, right? Since you mention Washington County in the next sentence, I wondered if you were referring to a minor St. Michaels in the mountains.
