Wooded to semi-open slopes between base of cliffs and river bank. Scattered but not uncommon along this stretch of the river.
40 foot tree located within remnant bottomland hardwood tract. Hydrology is no longer present, but water loving species are still dominants (Q. lyrata, Q. pagoda, Q. phellos, Q. palustris, F. pennsylvanica, and C. aquatica).
Going through old vacation photos trying to squeeze out some observations, picking ones with even a remote hope that they might be identifiable. Photos were geotagged so location and time are certain.
I don’t think this was planted here and it seems to be in more than one spot in this area.
Very large tree. Reddish brown bark. Flexible needles about 10 cm long in groups of two. Cone 6 cm long
