- 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)

- 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.
- Thanks,
- -AJ
