Place

Monticello (Google, OSM)

Description

This is said to be the only Monticello tree that was alive with Thomas Jefferson. It receives no special plaque as recognition (the guide said "it's probably because it's so ugly"). The last surviving tree, a tulip tree next to the house, was felled a few years back. I'm using this book for the ID.

Description from Wikipedia

Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Redcedar, Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper, Pencil Cedar) is a species of juniper native to eastern North America, from southeastern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, east of the Great Plains. Further west, it is replaced by the related Juniperus scopulorum (Rocky Mountain Juniper), and to the southwest, by Juniperus ashei (Ashe Juniper).
