Amazing! The total number of mature Hackberry trees I've seen here is one- one single tree. All others I've seen are young ones, of probably less than 10 inches in diameter. The one mature tree I've seen is on one of the golf courses at work. There were two there, but they cut one down a couple of years ago. The way things have been going, they have probably taken the other one out too. Of course they really weren't very big, maybe a foot or a little more in diameter. They take out trees at work simply because they think they need to get rid of them. There is no legitimate reason, and there never was. Oops. I didn't mean to get on that rant again. Sorry.

I noticed a large hackberry on a small ridge in the NE corner of the preserve which sits above the flood plain of Cedar Hollow Run. When I reached the tree it turned out to be two separate trees sharing a common base. I was able to get my tape measure between the two and measured the taller one at 12’3” x 114.2. I think it’s a new NE height record. I’ll post the preserves RI later this week.
