Bob, Mentioning White Pine, I found a huge one in Fletcher Park yesterday while walking the trails with Joy. It looked between 11 and 12 feet in girth ( single trunked ) and 80 to 100 feet tall. I did not have my measuring stuff with me to measure the tree so I will go back in the near future to measure it. Pinus Strobus is one of my favorite trees, along with the American Chestnut and Hawthorn.
