This tree stands on the Duke Mansion property. Eastern Red Cedars have been used in the south as hedge plantings. This particular Eastern Red Cedar was likely part of an old hedge that blocked Duke Mansion from the neighboring house on Edgehill Road. It is directly to the right of the driveway as the house comes into view.
