Bowdoin Park, NY,  Eastern Sycamore   Howard Stoner   May 16, 2005 13:14 PDT  Thomas and others: I visited Bowdoin Park last Friday May 13). I measured the large sycamore: 110 ft. tall, 27 ft. cbh, 47 yards by 43 yards spread. Someone else will have to calculate the points. Also found some nice 120-130 ft. tulip one with 14.7 cbh 123 ft tall. I was hiking with non-measurement oriented folks so didn't get much. Would be worth another trip! hs Will Blozan wrote:   Hey ENTS, Anyone near this tree, or know of it? Will B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 1:37 PM Subject: Eastern Sycamore Hello - I recently measured a huge Eastern Sycamore, totaling about 497 points, which would make it a NY record, located in SW Dutchess County in Bowdoin Park. (A county park) . It has a huge basal branch. I wonder if it has been measured before. If it has been measured, what is the official measurement? Also - is there a database showing top ranked trees by species? For ex - 10 largest Sycamores? Thanks for your help!

The Bowdoin Park sycamore ranks up there with the top ones in the Northeast of which I am aware. WAY COOL. BTW, where the heck is Bowdoin Park? What's it near?         Bob Re: FW: Eastern Sycamore   Howard Stoner   May 16, 2005 15:30 PDT  Bob, It is near Wappinger Falls in south west Duchess County in the state of New York. Across the Hudson from Newburg, just 8-9 miles off I-84 north on NY 9D. Howard Re: FW: Eastern Sycamore   wad-@comcast.net   May 16, 2005 18:00 PDT  Howard I get 468 for points on the sycamore. Height was probably mismeasured in the past. Scott   Home
