Bob,
That is an interesting story about the Hatfield Sycamore. I
would like to
see any material the gentleman provides about the tree. I would
like to see
more narrative accounts of the history of individual trees of
note. There
is a big oak tree in the village of Crown just north of Cook
Forest. I have
photos of the tree and have been thinking about giving the
family there a
copy of the photo and collecting personal accounts and possible
older photos
of the tree to develop a history of this individual oak. I would
encourage
others to do this with a big tree in their area. particularly
those who
want to participate in the ENTS organization, but are not
involved,
interested, or don't have the equipment to do tree hieght
measurements.

Ed--
The description of historical big trees is one of the
featurettes of the Bulletin of the Eastern Native Tree Society,
and there are a couple offered in the inaugaral issue...

Ed,
It's ironic that you mention this, as
I'm working on just that in
Harford, CT. There are several old trees (circa 1860's) on the
grounds of
where I'm working. I have spoken with the public relations
office of the
hospital and the CT Botanical Society (who did the last
measuring). I'm
measuring and photographing the trees, and conducting as much
history as I
can, to submit for the enjoyment of ENTS.
