Another spectacular report. With respect to
northern red oaks, [In MTSF] we have quite a few above the 125
figure. One in MTSF reaches 130.9 feet. Several are between 125
and 127. They reach to around 131 or slightly more in Zoar
Valley, NY. and Will Blozan has several in the mid130s in the
Smokies and at least one above 140.
Today I measured a Norway spruce in MTSF to
127.1 feet and a CBH of only 4.2 feet. The 127-footer is a new
height champion for MA and at this point the Northeast. think
Will has a slightly taller one in Biltmore, I think. At this
point, we've measured at least 4 Norways in MTSF to over 120
feet.
I was really pleased to hit 141.8 feet
and 8.7-feet around for a white ash in MTSF. That makes the
second 140-footer in Trout Brook. A also measured a 117.1,
4.5-foot around American basswood that surprised me. A 114-foot
red maple, and a 122.6-foot sugar maple made my day. Oh yes, a
11.7-foot CBH, 143.4-foot white pine didn't exactly disappoint
me.
