Larry: The Sycamore to see in WV is the Webster Sycamore along the Back Fork of the Elk River. As a result of Will B. and Jess R measurements in April of 2007 it has a cbh of 328.5 inches or 27.375 feet and a BTP total of 495. Check out his previous posts on this tree.Particularily impressive is its circular shape and it holds a 5 foot diameter way higher then the McCarrihan Sycamore. The base of the Webster Sycamore is hollow and recently damaged by a fire but is still standing and leafing out, although I wonder how it fared with the high winds we had last week. Go see it while it is still standing. Thus far these two trees would rank #1 and #2 in WV big tree database. Turner Sharp
