Guest commentary: Save New Jersey's 'wolf tree forest'
Wolf trees occur throughout most forest types across America. They are typically large, older trees left as a legacy from past land use activities such as agriculture or timbering. When left to grow freely in the open, these trees develop an extensive spreading, large branching condition, not typical of cedar trees growing in a stocked forest. As the trees mature, their branches are typically numerous and gnarly. They usually are found as single trees that are scattered in a larger forested landscape.
