WILDWOOD, N.J. (AP) - Wildwood has replaced the “W’’ tree with the “Wildwood Wave” in the southern New Jersey town’s new logo.

The tree represented holly trees with branches shaped like the letter W that once grew along Five Mile Beach. They were long cleared as homes and businesses grew.

Wildwood Historical Society president Kathy Skouras tells The Press of Atlantic City (https://bit.ly/1qduGIq ) officials are trying to update things.

The city’s museum has a piece of the “W’’ tree on display.
