## Caption

One of New Jersey's most breathtaking beauties, the Kissing Tree in Westwood, has been a boro staple for an estimated 250 years. The tree still displays carvings of initials along the trunk, many of them dating back decades. ⁠
⁠
The diseased tree has some questioning how much longer it can remain standing, after being diagnosed with what's called "brittle cinder fungus," which has no cure. ⁠
