Abstract:

Standing in the yard of the old Lighthouse Keepers' Quarters on Ocracoke Island is an ancient cedar tree that resembles a bonsai tree. Iva and Monk Garrish, who lived in the house during the 1930s, called it their Courting Tree, a name that has stuck. Many Ocracoke visitors walk under the huge tree and marvel at its elegance.
