Eastern Red Cedar Fruit

As I was walking down the trail I realized I had measured this tree in the past, but it was not on my list of trees. I need to go back through my notes to find this tree. There seems to be an abundance of Eastern Red cedar fruit this year.

If I find the notes then I will know what month to look in to find an earlier photo. I probably came by here in the winter. It was not easy getting to this tree. I remember crawling on my hands and knees to measure it.

Only the top of the tree is in the photo. The photo quality is not the best probably because of the branches in the foreground.

The fruit is a berry like cone about 1/4 inch long blue with a white waxy coating.
