Atlantic White Cedar Chamaecyparis thyoides Atlantic White Cedar Cupressaceae. Straight tree often found in dense stands, with lower branches dead due to lack of light.
Leaves are scale-like, overlapping, completely covering stems.
Bark is reddish-brown, peels easily, found as strips. Lumber and crushed leaves are very aromatic. Cones are somewhat wrinkled, becoming more wrinkled with age and changing from blue to brown in color. Common in very moist soils along streams and in swamps. Photographed at Double Trouble State Park.
