Trunk of a Thuja plicata tree.
#ThickTrunkTuesday
Thuja, often called Tree of Life, got its name in the 1500s when a tea made from its needles helped cure scurvy among the crew of Jacques Cartier's voyage to Canada. The vitamin C-rich tea saved lives, so much so that Europeans named it Arbor vitae.
