John, The largest forest grown American beech I've measured is 16ft CBH x 120+ft high in the Walnut Creek Gorge in Erie County, PA. That is way above & beyond what I usually call a large beech at 11ft CBH or greater, of which I've only measured a handful. Your beech is an absolute beauty, I woul...

Logan Natural Area is located on Bald Eagle Mountain along a southerly ridge overlooking Lock Haven. To date, I've catalogued a m...

NTS, On 2/1/12 I decided to re-measure a tall pine beside my house on the Cook Estate. On 5/16/10 it came in at 8.4ft CBH x 153.5ft high. On Wednesday, two growing seasons later, it now stands at 8.6 x 154.7ft high. Not bad for a second growth pine. After this, I decided to take a short walk back to...

NTS, Just re-measured a pine today that was first measured at 9.4ft CBH x 167.9ft high on 7/26/03. Today’s measurement yielded 9.6ft CBH x 170.5ft. I first hit 170.3ft, but since it was so close to the 170ft threshold I decided to find a good mid-slope measurement and utilize a pole for the bottom m...

It is located in the town park on the edge of the ball field adjacent to RT6. The locals...

On 4/13/2011 Carl Harting, Steve Hallow and I met for a measuring trip to Ander's Run Natural Area and Buckaloons Recreation Area in Warren County, PA. It was great to get together with everyone. Even though we couldn't get on the river (the Allegheny is still too high), we got a lot done. Here's th...
