i'm forwarding your request on to doug to pass on to the NH forester. this hornbeam kicks my butt to get the champion tree directory back up on the web.
i'm going to resurrect that database under www.ancientforests.us my attention is mostly focused on the carbon negative biochar initiative. for a green & peaceful planet, David Yarrow Turtle EyeLand Sanctuary 44 Gilligan Rd, East Greenbush, NY 12061 cell: 518-881-6632 www.carbon-negative.us www.ancientforests.us www.nutrient-dense.info www.OnondagaVesica.info www.OnondagaLakePeaceFestival.org www.farmandfood.org www.SeaAgri.com www.TurtleEyeland.org www.dyarrow.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Frank To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 8:56 PM Subject: [ENTS] Re: Fw: county record hop hornbeam? David, It looks like it may be the biggest. In our records we have (that I can find): MTSF, MA E. Hophornbeam 78.5' high 2.3' cbh Erie County PA E. Hophornbeam 78.8' high 1.8' cbh National Ivy River, NC Circumference 70" Big Fork Ridge, Cataloochee, GIMP Height 89.7 feet It looks like this tree would be fatter than any other in the NE, and perhaps the tallest overall if its height matches the girth.I can't really tell but the girth does not look as big as the Ivy River tree. Could you get some measurements for it?
