Bob,

 

>From what I have seen of large eastern sycamores I would agree that by
volume, the Sunderland Sycamore is the biggest specimen in the east with
currently known or visited trees. The Pinchot Sycamore looks considerably
smaller to me in volume and the Webster Springs tree has a bigger girth but
less wood.

Marc,

 

            The measurements are close. It is about 110 feet tall. Since
last winter's ice storm, the average spread is about 136 feet. Age probably
much less than they report and it is not the largest sycamore east of the
Mississippi. This is a huge exaggeration.
