Re: Daily digests
Kouta, Shorea, NTS,
I stopped getting Daily Digests last month (January 2021), so you can add me to the list. I didn't change any of the settings in my account profile. I have no idea what the problem is, but for now I'll keep an eye out and see if the emails resume at some point.

Re: Ragged Mountain Natural Area, Charlottesville, VA
Brian, Bob, Bee, Ragged Mountain has two 170’+ Tulips for sure, and probably two or three more. James Madison’s Montpelier probably has two or three, but the tallest there was 172’ when I measured it in late 2019. As far as I know, the 175’ tree is the tallest known in the state. I still think talle...

Re: Ragged Mountain Natural Area, Charlottesville, VA
Brian, Thank you for your help. Some of the nearby Ashes probably are still alive, so I should be able to get a good look at the leaves in the future. This tree looks like a variety of White Ash, and I understand why some people consider it to be just that. The Red Oak was a pain to measure this tim...

Re: Ragged Mountain Natural Area, Charlottesville, VA
NTS, This past week I was able to return to Ragged Mountain and check on some of the trees I had found and measured in December 2019. Before sharing the stats, I have a couple of photos of a dead Ash I ran across. I think it might be a Biltmore Ash, and I’d like a second opinion. IMG_0648.jpg IMG_06...

Re: St. Paul's Cemetery, Hancock, NY
NTS, I double-checked the height of the two tallest White Pines on January 24, 2021. Here are their respective heights: Pine 1 158.3’ Pine 2 154.7’ These stats are nearly identical (within the margin of error) to those gathered at the end of the 2019 growing season. I think Erik’s weather-related ex...

Re: Undiscovered Old-Growth near Woodward PA??
Bee, Bob, Erik, Pondering the historical size potential of Eastern White Pine is lots of fun, and something I’m guilty of from time to time. I generally discount height figures obtained from standing trees, though some probably are in the ballpark. Diameter or circumference figures are probably more...

Re: NY Rucker Height Index
Bob, I'm open to putting something more substantial together. I would like Erik's OK, as well as other contributors like Tom Howard, depending on what kind of detail you're looking for. Much of the information included in my spreadsheets can also be found in the VT database already, though some of i...
