Ed, ENTS,
Ed, I've noticed you have been compiling RGI's on most of your field trips lately. This is my busy time of year and I have had little time to get out in the woods so I've been going over some of my numbers and Valley Forge National Park, Pa., has an awesome RGI. If I use trees that Scott Wade and I have measured VFNP has a RGI of 14.5. When I listed the VFNP report I only listed the tallest tree for each species because the list was so long. Here are the numbers. Valley Forge National Park Rucker Girth Index Species CBH Height Measurer Sycamore 23.2 89.4 Wade Black Walnut 18.1 94.0 Wade Tulip Poplar 17.8 89.0 Fieo Common Hackberry 15.6 86.0 Wade Silver Maple 13.5 89.1 Fieo Black Oak 12.3 101.9 Fieo Red Maple 11.9 76.4 Fieo Pin Oak 11.1 102.4 Fieo N Red Oak 10.8 104.2 Fieo White Ash 10.4 108.7 Fieo Rucker Girth Index 14.5 George --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
