Fosso - will the Lebanese Cedar tree survive?

“The Cedars know the history of the earth better than history itself.”Alphonse de Lamartine, French poet and historian (1790-1869).

Planted in 1823 (according to Pina Iacopucci Marroni in her book Barga e i suoi Castelli 1965) or earlier in 1815 according to the official list of Monumental Trees in the Province of Lucca

When ever it actually was is now of little importance as the monumental Lebanese Cedar tree which has dominated the Fosso for around 180 is now very, very ill and looking like a tree that will have great difficulty in passing the coming winter intact. The rest of this sad story is here
