There are some fine specimens of Lebanon Cedars in Attingham Park but as I mentioned in a previous post, they have become quite fragile.
This spring the Cedars have cast their seeds into the wind, I have high hopes for a rebirth.
thousands of seeds from the cedars of Lebanon have been blown across the lawn leading down to the river – we will wait and see if we get any seedlings and transplant them to the nursery to grow on as replacement trees. Our cedars are unfortunately past their prime and many of them have rot inside, which is why they are fenced off with railings to prevent anyone from walking beneath.

It would be great if new cedars sprang forth!
It would be wonderful, they trees are so impressive.
Powerful motif, rebirth, isn’t it?
Yes it is and I thought it fitting for the context
These are very different looking Cedars Cherie… i hope that the seeds will eventually produce seedlings….peter:)
They are amazing trees
Attingham wouldn’t look the same somehow with them…but, they must have taken years to get that big!
Without…even
I find them amazing and I can remember the time when it was possible to walk beneath them
