Larry,
Fantastic old oak, and from the photos it looks to be in good shape. Is it in old growth forest, or is it in a sea of second growth. It clearly had good competition during most of it's years.

Re: NASA Measure Tree height with Your Smartphone
Am I being too harsh? Did they say the tree had to be vertical or straight? I am glad you signed up Bob, maybe you can get to the bottom of the actual purpose of this. If it is only small and straight trees being addressed, is it wise to try to engage people in citizen science when they are not real...

Re: NASA Measure Tree height with Your Smartphone
Citizen "scientists". I guess they figure they can't get people interested in science if it is actually scientific. Science in a sound bite. It would be interesting to find whoever came up with this and ask them what they were thinking.

Re: archival chestnut photo
It looks like if you ran a tape over both big burls you could get close to that circumference, though it's a stretch. Nevertheless it's a big girth tree in an open growth environment. Obviously known for it's unusual size. Quite conical as well. Good to have the photo though to really have a sense o...

Re: Giants of Monroe State Forest
It is great to see the trees in this general area one by one exceeding the 170' height, and most important to get good volume measurements to better understand and document the growth patterns of the rare old growth giants over time. It is also critical to get a broad ecological, rather than narrow ...

Re: CT's Second 150-footer found
Way to go Ryan, great to get this new data on tall Tulips. I'm glad you'r still hunting. I'm also making tree hunting trips with some of my young Costa Rican friends.

Re: Jocassee Gorges, NC and SC
Brian good information from an impressive site. Like me, when you are at a really good location with limited time, you focus on getting as many heights as possible. So I was just wondering did the really tall Tulips have relatively small diameters?

Re: Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge- Nov 2018
Great Shumard Oak Larry, and there is something magical about really big trees in the flood plain environment. In Massachusetts of course the big ones are Cottonwoods and Sycamores, and the occasional Pin Oak. Here in Coasta Rica it's another world in the few remaining old parcels, but so little is ...

Re: New Eel River LiDAR reveals more 350' class redwoods
Michael, You keep coming up with incredible trees. Waldo is certainly a needle of a tall tree. It reminds me of a "Probado Tree" Pterygota excelsa I found in Carara National Park Costa Rica several years ago at 4.14' diameter it was 207' tall. It's still healthy and just over 210' with a straight up...

Re: Letchworth State Park
I was there in June and measured a few big cucumber magnolias a couple of tulips and some large hemlocks said to be "old growth"?. I will have to dig up my notes and photos.
