ENTS,
Today I went to MTSF with Chris Matera to plan for a visit to Mohawk by some state dignitaries, probably in November. I used to opportunity to remeasure several important Mohawk trees. The Frank Decontie and Lee Frelich pines were principal targets. I also measured a promising striped maple in the Algonquin Pines. Measurement statistics follow. Tree Species Height -ft Girth -ft Frank Decontie WP 161.3 10.2 Lee Frelich WP 161.2 8.6 Unnamed STM 63.0 1.8 It was comforting to confirm that the Frank Decontie and Lee Frelich pines are still solidly 160s. In addition, the unnamed striped maple turned out to be an impressive 63 feet. The 63-footer is the 4th striped maple in Mohawk that reaches to over 60 feet in height. My objective is to bring up Mohawk's measurements to the present. Last week's re-measurement of the Joseph Brant Pine dropped Brant out of the 160 Club. I could only confirm 158.8 feet for the big pine.
