James,
As Gaines suggests, the only real question is whether or not a particular tree is low branching, say at around 3 feet, with one pith at ground level, or whether there are multiple piths at ground level. Once the tree get so fat it is hard to tell. We need to figure out a solution to making this determination. There are some nice single trunk silvers on Baker and Thompson Islands in the Allegheny River Islands Wilderness.
