Re: Eastern OLDLIST
Hi All, Long-time, no speak. Apologies NTS. I'm now at the Harvard Forest in MA and with a couple wee sprouts in my family. It has been a good, busy road. I want to share some exciting news: the old cucumbertree at Cook Forest is provisionally crossdated. By that I mean we have measured up three rad...

Re: State Champion Tulip, KY's tallest
Hi Rand, We do this in a couple of ways. We compare radial growth to monthly maximum measured temperatures and then total monthly precipitation to get some insight on how trees respond to climate. You are correct in that sometimes it is hotter it is sometimes dry. I just compared average monthly max...

Re: Tree Maximums - Genus of the Week: Hamamelis (Witchhazel
Dear NTS,
Cari Leland of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory is completing a limited tree ring chronology of this species from Black Rock Forest in southern NY for a class project. So far, the oldest H. virginiana dated is 58 years old. http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~adk/oldlisteast/

Re: State Champion Tulip, KY's tallest
Dear NTS, We have some data that can be added to this hypothesis. Dario Martin-Benito and I have a paper in review of the climate response of eight broadleaf species, including tulip, from Georgia through to northern Vermont; hopefully it passes peer review this time. The first conclusion might not ...

Re: Eastern OLDLIST
Dear NTS, Apologies for little activity. Life has sped up recently. I am trying to slow it a bit so I can participate more here. I write with good news: First, I got to meet Russ Carlson in person at the North American Dendroecological Fieldweek at Black Rock Forest last week. I learned a lot about ...

Dear NTS of the eastern US and Canada, There is a new opportunity for citizen science that is right up our alley: collecting and preserving hemlock samples before they are lost through the Hemlock Legacy Project - HeLP. There will be an article coming out soon in a mainstream source about it and the...
