I have a few new measurements from the gardens of Biltmore.
Carolina hemlock 103.4'
Norway or oriental spruce 133.6' This may be a US record for either species.
Dawn Redwood 124.1' same tree as previous post.
white pine 158.1'
I got a 156' shooting straight up and had various numbers in the 150's from multiple angles. One reading had 161.6' but that was with some estimation on the base. It may top 160' but I haven't confirmed it yet. I plan to do an inventory of the gardens this summer. The trees are relatively well spaced.
I finally got a high reading for the Friday's sycamore in Biltmore Village. That tree had frustrated me on two previous visits.
sycamore 144.0'
