Hello ENTS, Fellow tree climber and aspiring tree measurer David Obie has located a roughly 133.5 ft. oak of undetermined species (red oak family I think) in the Fort Oglethorpe area in northern Georgia just south of Chattanooga. David did a straight up measurement (k) with a Nikon 550 rangefinder to get 133.5', the CBH is 14' 7". He's is going back to the tree to gather twig/bud samples, take photos and measure using sine top/sine bottom so more info is on the way.
Here's a photo of leaves gathered at the base of the trunk, anyone recognize the species? (there may be more than one in the group) http://hunabku.mysite.com/images/file0058.1.jpg I looked though Dirr's 'Manual of Woody Landscape Plants' to do leaf comparisons, the closest match I could come up with is Shumard Oak.
