Larry,
Glad you were able to make their acquaintance! BTW, the species is far larger on the west coast so although large, they are not the largest in the U.S. Jeez, I need to get out- I am envious of the recent ENTS flurry of trips! Will F.

"No sympathy for apathy" _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of lawrence tucei jr Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 8:55 PM To: Entstrees Subject: [ENTS] Chestnut in Bayfield Wisconsin ENTS, Thanks to Paul Jost for giving me directions to one of the largest Chestnut trees in Wisconsin and in the U.S. The tree had been trimmed by an arborist recently and may be declining with a hollowing core. Still a magnificient speciman and the first Chestnut I'd ever seen. My friend Joe and I drove about 90 miles to enjoy and measure this beauty. It was cold in the 30's that day for the high. We stayed with the tree for about an hour and it was a thrill for me to finally see a Chestnut. Paul had reported on this tree in the past and again my thanks to him for sharing this with me. Measurements, CBH-12' 7", Height-48' and Spread-52' x 30'. Located on the corner of Manypenny and 7th Ave., Bayfield Wi. Some photos of the tree. We also measured a couple of large Cottonwoods a mile down the road I'll post on them in Part 2. And in part 3 I'll post some photos and report on some old White pine stumps and trunks in Doulas Co., that when growing, were at least 200 years old!
