I have doubt that this is Lebanon. Close-up of needles will help. Also, it is unusual for Cedars to be recorded unless over 4m girth.
Added Bradgate Park Tag Number 1067. Also, I've just noticed the comment from Alan. I'll get a close-up of the needles if I can.
I've added photos 8, 9 and 10 for species clarification (see comment 22/02/2023). From the original records, and my online comparison of the cones and leaves, this is a Blue Atlas Cedar, NOT a Cedar of Lebanon. I'm unsure why this was recorded as it wasn't on the original plan, though probably worth retaining since the record has been raised. Verifier: Please change species name to Blue Atlas Cedar. I am unable to do.
