Re: Germantown Metropark, OH
NTS, After 7 growing seasons I figured it was time to update the measurements for two trees that I refer to as "The Scholar" and "Emerson". I'm happy to report that SW Ohio can now claim a 160' class tree. The Scholar 2-1-14: 10.5' x 150.3' 12-13-20: 10.6' x 154.7' Emerson 2-16-14: 10' x 154.9' 12-1...

Re: The Leverett White Fir
NTS, I was happy to find in Nov 2019 that the Leverett White Fir survived the 416 Fire. I named it for Bob because if not for his exploits in Jones Creek I likely would not have been prompted to visit the great state of Colorado. leverett white fir 1.JPG leverett white fir 2.JPG leverett white fir 3...

Re: Western States Rucker Comparisons
Hey Brian! Cool lists!
I don't know if Will ever posted about it, but he had a 165.3' Rocky Mountain ponderosa pine in Hermosa Creek, CO in 2015.

Re: The Clear Creek Blue Spruce
NTS,
I visited the Clear Creek Blue Spruce in Nov 2019 and was pleased to find that it survived the 2018 416 Fire. Across Hermosa Creek, Dutch Creek got devastated. The parts of Clear Creek that I saw mostly got spared.

RIP Sandy Young
If it hasn't been said yet on the forum, just wanted to say RIP Sandy Young. She was gracious to provide horses for one of the 2014 excursions into Hermosa Creek. She passed in 2018. There are articles online for those who wish to learn more about her life. Just search Sandy Young Durango Outfitter....

Re: Giant Blue Spruce, Dutch Creek, CO
NTS, I visited this tree again in Nov 2019. It's already been reported in the news, but unfortunately the Dutch Creek Blue Spruce didn't survive the 416 Fire. It's one, or was one, of 5 national co-champs. It didn't get burned, but the heat in Dutch Creek was too much for the tree to withstand. Eagl...

NTS,
I visited this tree in Nov 2019 and am happy to report that after the 416 Fire Colorado's tallest-known tree and the tallest-known blue spruce across its range remains intact.

Re: New Height Record for Doug Fir in Colorado
NTS,
I visited this tree in Nov 2019. The 416 Fire wasn't kind to it, but as I mentioned in 2014 the tree was barely hanging on by a thread as it was.

Re: Tree Haiku
NTS, With the inclusion of celebrating trees through poetry and other means in the NTS mission statement, I'll continue to share in this thread any of my published poems in which trees make an appearance. In addition, if anyone holds the common belief in popular culture that English-language haiku a...
