ENTS,
not sure if these specific trees have been aged. Paul Krusic, Ed Cook & Brendan Buckley of the Lamont Tree Ring Lab made a nice collection from NH to VA &, perhaps, TN a few yrs back. Most of the living were 200-400 yrs old. The dead individual were often much older. When crossdated and combined, these chronologies go back 800-1000 yrs, most often. The oldest chronology dates back to sometime in the 400s. WVU, under the direction of Amy Hessl, is now working up several of these chronologies in WV. They are getting very similar results - millennial-length eastern redcedar chronologies, which to date are only possible by collecting dead samples and crossdating them to the living trees. neil On Nov 10, 6:31 pm, "Will Blozan" <[email protected]> wrote: > AWESOME!!!
