ENTS,
For those of you who don't know, Larry is actually a leprechaun - only about 10 inches tall. Those are all just bushes in the photos. He's a tricky one, he is. Dang it Larry, your smoking the rest of us. Next July in Durango, we're expecting you to find us a 60-inch DBH ponderosa. Seriously though, congratulations again are in order. The number of 20-foot plus CBH live oaks you are finding is beyond what I could have imagined in my wildest big tree imaginings when you started the project. Looks like you get a co-nomination along with Dale for Tree Dude of the Month. You betcha.

After talking with David he confirmed 3 large Live Oaks on his property, we set a meeting for Sunday morning Aug 9. He has a beautiful piece of property surrounded by huge Live Oaks. The largest tree by CBH on the property is the Multi-Trunked Laura Starr Oak. CBH-25' 9" Height-75' and Spread-120' x 96'. The second largest is the Virginia Grey Oak, CBH-25', Height-72' and Spread-132' x126'. Last but not least was the Sarah Anette Oak, CBH-22' 6" Height-78' and Spread- 147' ,x 106.5'. All the Live Oaks located here are in great shape and very healtly dispite some limb loss from previous Hurricanes. I would estimate there age 200-250 years. These trees have heights in the top 10% of all the Live Oaks I've seen in the last 3 years. We also measured a Yew tree next to the driveway, a multi-trunked specimen at CBH-16' Height- 55.5' and Spread-45' x 37.5'. The largest of any Yew I've ever seen. He had a couple of trees I couldn't ID, I'll get back on those. Some photos of Beautiful Southern Live Oaks from Grand Bay, Ala. The Live Oak listing is now at 131 trees.
