The Cedars of Lebanon

at Wilton, and later Mount Merrion

The Cedars of Lebanon at Wilton House.
This is looking E (the E facade of the house is behind the camera).
On the LHS is the Millennium Fountain.

The Cedars of Lebanon at Wilton were planted by the 4th Earl in the 1630s.
These trees, which still stand at Wilton, are now over 350 years old.

From 1903 to 1914 Sir Neville Wilkinson resided at Mount Merrion House, Co.Dublin, and planted on the lawn there cuttings from the cedars at Wilton.
Apparently there are still cedars of Lebanon in people's gardens in the housing estates at Mount Merrion. These trees date back to the 1630s in Wilton.

Trees at Mount Merrion, 2004. Behind the stables (in front of the new church).
Wonder if the tall tree here is one of the cedars of Lebanon.
