Blight-killed Bermuda Cedar (Juniperus bermudiana)

Blight-killed specimen of Bermuda Cedar (Juniperus bermudiana), found only on the Bermuda Islands. European colonists cut down large numbers of these trees for timber. Starting in the 1940s, 99% of the remaining specimens were then killed by two species of introduced scale insects. There is now a major replanting effort of trees propagated from blight-resistant specimens. In the background can be seen specimens of Whistling Pine (Casuarina sp.), an exotic species planted to replace the nearly extinct cedars.
