Beth,
That is great - I love the look of chinquapin oak [or chinkapin, however you wish to spell it. I'd be careful on estimating tree age from external characteristics. The last tree on the list was larger than most trees cored & yet ~ 1/4 of the potential ages. It lives next to a trail and an ephemeral stream. I'd guess it has less competition and more moisture availability yr round VS the other trees. BTW funny timing ENTS'ers: Floracliff and two other KY forests, including the 2000+ acre old-growth Blanton Forest, are featured in the book "Wildlands Philanthropy: The Great American Tradition". A nice article was written up in the local paper Saturday - http://www.kentucky.com/601/story/592954.html - w/ accompanying short articles on the three KY forests. neil On Nov 16, 8:39 pm, Beth Koebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Neil, > > Those ages are great!
