Scott, Impressive collection of measurements. I assume all of these trees are open grown, and single stem. I will need to add several of the trees to the ENTS maximum dimension list. The tree that especially catches my eye is the chalk maple. I've seen some large ones but nothing like that. You've probably are done this, but have you checked to make sure its not a Florida maple (Acer barbatum)?
