All height except Floodwood-Rollins Pond, Peavine Swamp,
Wizard of Oz Oak Grove, are from ENTS website. Floodwood-Rollins Pond and
Peavine Swamp are from
championtrees.org. All heights were measured with
laser-rangefinder.
Black Gum in Wizard of Oz Oak Grove, North Syracuse was
measured by Robert Henry and Tom Howard 11/15/2009.
Cbh = circumference at breast height or 4.5 ft. The
championtrees.org site which listed several of these trees seems to be offline.
I could not find all the cbh figures
on ENTS website.
