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.
