I've been spending so much time around Thoreau and Grandfather this Fall that I'm getting to know every detail of them. I'm 99.99% sure Will's stitched photo is of Thoreau, the delicate epicormic sprays mid trunk are a distinctive Thoreau feature. Also Thoreau has a bit smoother bark texture/vertical furrows than Grandfather. Tim's photo is definitely Grandfather.
Starting at :45 in this video the camera pans up the trunk of Thoreau, the angle is from the uphill side but you can see the same epicormics as in Will's photo which is from the right side (if you're looking downhill) midslope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS-4Nlohm4w Either way great to this pair so well photographed. -Andrew Timothy Zelazo wrote: > Will: > > I'm still trying to get a handle on all the names for the trees but I > think this was at the base of the Grandfather Pine. > > Tim > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 5:02 PM, Will Blozan <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > ENTS, > > > > To complement Andrews aerial shot of the tree, here is a composite > stitch of the Grandfather Pine with Gary Beluzo at the base. > > > -- 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]
