This rather lovely tree lives on the island in the Parc de Richelieu. We found its twisting limbs and swirling bark patterns very photogenic. I think it's a Swamp Cypress, but no doubt one of our Richelieu readers can correct me if I'm wrong.

The "leaves" look identical to those of the cypress we have here in Texas along the Guadalupe R. I guess they're Swamp Cypress because they like to grow partly in the water. However, I don't recall seeing any with such an extensive branching system as your specimen. The beavers love to gnaw on the bark unfortunately.

Susan Like many trees in the park these trees have name labels...
C&E: Ah! I didn't notice. Next time...
