Bob: I guess that the Appalachians may then take the lead for really big trees. It is not unheard of for red oak trees to be over 40" in diameter at less than age 80 and I am not sure if I have seen a 100 year old white pine here yet but I've seen 40 year old plantation planted white pine trees up to 30" in diameter. One interesting thing goin on right now in Ohio is the white pine co-op....it seems that they have been planting the trees on lots of old farm land for decades and there is almost no market for the timber being produced....white pine does incredibly well on some of the Ohio land and I'd love to be around when some of those stands hit 100 years....unfortunately I'll have to get into the Guiness Record Book to see that happen!!
