Re: MD swamp white oak
Turner, I don't know swamp chestnut oak all that well but I was under the impression that the acorn stalks were also relatively long. Unfortunately my oak book says nothing about this but I thought I read it somewhere else. I know that the length of the stalks on swamp white oaks is highly variable ...

Andrew,
sounds great. I'm also going to be away this coming weekend but I should be around for the following weekend.

Re: Mass. height record for Cucumber Magnolia?
Andrew,
just this month I saw a very nice cucumber magnolia in Wellesley. Probably not as tall as the one you found...I was thinking it might be lucky to make 100' but I'm still not great at estimating heights. It is very fat though...maybe even as much as 12' or so. Worth a measure.

Re: Eastern Massachusetts 130.5' white pine 3/21/10
Andrew, I'm interested in checking out that 130.5' white pine with you. I would also like to recheck a white pine that I measured with Ellen in January of 2009. We came up with 128.9' for that tree but when I was going through my notes I noticed that I didn't add the 0.5' for the lower shot...this p...

MD swamp white oak
In June 2007 I went to a wedding in the DC / Baltimore area and so I had a great chance to check out their champion swamp white oak. We didn't have much time because we only had a little time between the wedding in DC area and the reception which was up in the Baltimore area...but I just wanted to s...

Re: A nice swamp white oak---
I like to look up into the branches of open grown trees to look at their bark. Swamp white oaks generally have that nice, distinctive peeling bark that looks alot like birch bark. If the branches are too high, like in a forest, I like to use binoculars to get a close up view of the bark way up there...

Re: Big Bur Oak
Turner, I'm happy that you measured this tree. I saw the tree in October of 2002 when I collected some acorns from it...actually most were collected by the owner and he saved them for us. I took a few pictures of the tree but they are all slides. I'm hoping to get a scanner next month so I can start...

Re: Tall European trees
Kouta, when I'm in Germany I'll be visiting Kelheim and the Weltenburger Enge with family. I'm hoping to measure the tall European ashes of this region. I found the same paper on the ashes of Germany online that you did and I'm trying to figure out the exact location of the tallest ash. It seems tha...

Updating the MAX list
ENTS, I just wanted to bring this topic up again so we didn't just let it slide. I believe Eli Dickerson brought this topic up recently. I wrote down the names of people that volunteered to keep state lists...so here they are: Eli Dickerson - Georgia (possibly with Jess Riddle) Darian Copiz - Distri...
