Mixed-species marriage: trees

I know I have many tree fans. Bear with me for another tree post.
These trees seem to have fused early on. Now, they are huge. I looked casually at them. They sit on "Oliver's Lot", and I'd walked past them for a year until I noticed them on October 4th.
If you look closely one is a birch, the other a cedar. They support one another.
Olive loved visiting this lot. It is made up of mature forest, a grassy meadow, and frog pond.

I love the mature forest!

all the leaves are now gone.

I have seen a lot of Siamese trees, but never a mixed marriage like this! And they both seem so healthy! I wonder what the inner wood will look like when they finally get cut down...
