The following table
computes the scores of 259 eastern white pines. Massachusetts trees are
coded in blue. Note that Big Bertha (standing dead) ranks 9th on
the list. The next update will expand this list by between 200 to 300
trees that will be drawn mostly from the southern Appalachians. There
will be a number of pines larger than Big Bertha, but they will
generally be older trees by anywhere from 50 to 200 years.
