Cedars along the canal

Regarding the "cedars" of the cypress family, The Sibley Guide to Trees says "Despite the fact that botanists classify the wild forms as species in different genera, identification of cultivated trees is very challening, where a mixture of hybrids and cultivars tends to obscure the relatively small differences between the species."

If I had to make a guess, I'd call this a northern white-cedar.  But, I tend to just call the trees cedars and the shrubs juniper.

There were rows of these trees along the canal in Waterford.  They were there as cultivated plants, not wild, so they could be anything.

One thing that I noticed was that the trunk split not too far up, so from there upwards, it was like there were two trunks.  Branches grew off the south side of the trunk on the south side, and off the north side of the trunk on the north side, so each trunk had branches growing off only one side.
