ENTS,
I was hired to treat some hemlocks with HWA in the Upper
Tallulah River
watershed. Although the upper portion is in NC, to get there I
needed to
drive through Georgia up the incredible Tallulah River Gorge,
which is
traversed by a forest service road. Super nice white pines grow
there, and
the three that I measured are just a tease of the "super
trees" that surely
grow there. Jess, have you measured any trees u there?
~12'+ X 152.9' Across
the river. An immense tree that may be
closer to 13'.
~11'+ X 153' Across
the river. MASSIVE crown.
10'2" X 161.3'
~11' X 161.9' Across
the river.
For some reason, the huge pines were always on the other side of
the river!
HWA was heavy and declining trees were common. Hemlock did not
appear to
reach heights over 120'.
