The Ironwood tree looks like two trees; the main trunk has a 26" dbh with a 67" cbh. The second smaller trunk has a 12" dbh with a 40" cbh. Directly across the trail is another 12" dbh Ironwood with a 40" cbh. There are ironwood trees are all around the parent/crop/seed tree. I took my PM Clinometer Height Meter Suunto with me because I didn't bring my climbing equipment (my schedule didn't allow it), and I tried to use the instrument to determine the height of the Hophornbeam. When I calculated 104 feet (120/100 x 82 + 5 1/2 ft = 103.9") , I realized I was doing something wrong. The height of the tree looks about 75 feet so I'll have to climb it before I can report the height. Since I couldn't pass my calculus, I couldn't be a forester. Math is like a foreign language to me and I'll struggle with it the rest of my life. No big deal! Tim No virus found in this incoming message.
