I'm Still Alive

Wow.  It has been nearly a year since I have written a new post.  How do our lives get so busy?

I haven't done as much plant hunting as I would like.  During the past year, I worked a LOT.

Even so, I have found a few things.

Tonight, I was walking through a park in Portland, and I came across this broom in an incense cedar- Calocedrus decurans.  Much of it was dead- which frequently happens to brooms that are lower on the tree.  If it were propagated and given good care, I have to wonder what it would look like.  I'm guessing it would be a fastigiate form that might make a good tree for commercial landscaping purposes.

There is only one way to find out :)
