No way that Pumpkin Ash is even remotely close to 150. I measured that tree a number of years ago. I can't remember what the height was, but much less than 150.

I am working else I could meet you there. From what I remember and find on the web there are four champs located there. As you come down the road turn into the first parking area. This will have picnic tables and swings for the kids. As you are you standing with your back towards the field across the road the persimmon is forward and to your left. The Rusty Blackhaw ( Viburmum rifidulum ) is along the roadside to the right of the parking lot as you are leaving the park. The Bald Cypress and Pumpkin Ash are located down the boardwalk. To get to the boardwalk from the parking area with the persimmon take a left on the road and it will be on your right side. They have built a little info booth at the beginning of it. What the Missouri Champion Tree list has for measurments are as follows: Pumpkin Ash (National Champ) 188" cbh 150' height 77' crown Bald Cypress 306" cbh 123' height 84' crown Rusty Blackhaw 43" cbh 28' height 25' crown Persimmon 93" cbh 124' height 40' crown Beth Trees are the answer.--bumper sticker from Illinois Forest Association -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
