So many ENT-messages, so little time.
There is so much info in all of your messages that can¹t be found anywhere
else, not to mention all of the beautiful photos and videos that transport
us momentarily to special places we will in all likelihood never set foot
in, that I must read all of them. I just hope folks understand that there
is not enough time in this world to respond properly to one-tenth of them.

Will,
Needless to say, we were delighted with the Tsugas. There may be more. I'm
more impressed with the hemlock heights than the white pines. But then there
is that fine beech. There will be lots of 100-ft black birches. Some many
trees so little time.

Subject: [ENTS] Forest Park with Bart and Sam
ENTS,
Bart Bouricius, Sam Goodwin, and I went to Forest Park today to
measure and document trees. I'll get right to the numbers and then describe
the attached images. The measurements are listed in the order taken.
Species Height
Girth
White pine 131.3 9.5
Pitch pine 89.0
6.7
American beech 100.6 8.8
American beech 108.8 9.5
N. red oak 98.0 12.8
W. oak 103.0
9.2
Black birch 105.5 9.0
White pine 134.5 10.5
White Pine 97.7 9.9
N. red oak 108.1 12.5
Hemlock 131.9
8.8
White pine 134.4 6.8
Hemlock 128.9
9.5
White pine 130.9
White pine 133.0
White pine 120.9
White pine 133.7
Hemlock 113.9
Hemlock 114.3
The two hemlocks were sweet. Description of images follow.
WP134_5.jpg shows the 134.5-foot white pine.
Beech2AndSam.jpg show the 108.8-ft tall, 9.5-ft girth American beech. Very
impressive for Massachusetts.
PPAndBart.jpg shows the 89-ft tall, 6.7-ft girth pitch pine. It's a beauty.
NRO12_5AndBart.jpg shows the 108-ft tall, 12.5-ft girth N. red oak. A very
impressive tree.
NRO12_8AndBart.jpg show the 98-ft tall, 12.8-ft girth N. red oak, also very
impressive
So, to this point, we have measured 6 white pines to over 130
feet and 4 hemlock to over 120, with 1 over 130. Sweet! Bart knows of
another section of the park with good potential. There are likely many black
birch and beech over 100 feet. We're edging toward a RHI. I now believe it
will be between 108 and 109.
