The Eik Cedar.


Eik Cedar., originally uploaded by gak.

This 800 year old tree is a popular attraction in the small town of Tofino on the west side of Vancouver Island. Local residents and arborists have rigged a series of cables and supports to keep the tree standing. I´ve been unable to determine if this tree is a Western Red Cedar or a Port Orford Cedar.

It's a western red; Port Orfords aren't native to Canada and the Native people of 800 years ago weren't that into non native species cultivation.
