Located in Gelli Aur Country Park, Carmarthenshire, this Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is a remarkable example of its species. Here are some key facts about this tree:
Planted: Thought to have been planted in 1863.
Height & Size: Western Red Cedars can grow up to 70 metres tall and 7 metres in diameter and this specimen is well on its way to being a giant.

Lifespan: These trees can live for over 1,000 years so this specimen has many years of guarding the Estate left.
Habitat: They thrive in cool, moist environments, often found along streams and wet lowlands - so our Estate is perfect for this lovely specimen.
Uses: The wood is aromatic and rot-resistant, commonly used for shingles, cladding, and other moisture-resistant applications - but not so for this tree - long may it stand majestically over the house.
Cedrwydden Goch
Wedi'i lleoli ym Mharc Gwledig Gelli Aur, Sir Gaerfyrddin, mae'r Gedrwydden Goch yma (Thuja plicata) yn enghraifft ryfeddol o'i rhywogaeth.
Dyma rai ffeithiau allweddol am y goeden yma:
Dyddiad plannu: Rydyn ni’n credu ei bod hi wedi cael ei phlannu yn 1863.
Uchder a Maint: Mae Cedrwydd Coch yn gallu tyfu i hyd at 70 metr o uchder a 7 metr mewn diametr ac mae'r enghraifft yma’n prysur dyfu i fod yn gawraidd.
Oes: Mae’r coed yma’n gallu byw am fwy na 1,000 o flynyddoedd felly mae gan yr enghraifft yma flynyddoedd lawer o warchod y Stad ar ôl.
Cynefin: Maen nhw’n ffynnu mewn amgylcheddau oer, llaith, sydd i’w gweld yn aml ar hyd nentydd ac iseldiroedd gwlyb - felly mae ein Stad ni’n berffaith ar gyfer yr enghraifft hyfryd yma.
Defnydd: Mae'r pren yn bersawrus ac yn gwrthsefyll pydredd, ac yn cael ei ddefnyddio’n gyffredin ar gyfer estyll, cladin a defnyddiau gwrth-leithder eraill - ond nid dyma fydd yn digwydd i’r goeden yma – mae ganddi oes hir gobeithio o sefyll yn urddasol dros y tŷ.
