Carl- No problem, you've a wonderful opportunity ahead with the only negative prospect being a lack of sufficient time to do Arizona justice! Check out following URL:
http://www.azarboretum.org/bigtrees/June2004updates.htm which details (as of 2004) 89 species of champion big trees in Arizona, with some found by a one-time member (now passed away) Bob Zahner (may he rest in peace at the base of his champion ponderosa pine!). Turns out the Arizona trails only Florida in diverse number of species, if recall serves me, on the national register. Yes, Arizona is a state that likes its traditions, and its foresters and tree hunters traditionally use the tangent method...I'm sure there are exceptions, and it's a feather in ENTS' hats that you're one of them. Go out there and kick some big tree butt! -Don PS:An endemic population of bristlecone pine exist on the top fourth of the San Francisco Peaks...and to my knowledge, nowhere else in Arizona > Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:01:07 -0700 > Subject: [ENTS] Re: Arizona Forests > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > > Wow Don, thanks for the awesome reply.
