#1) Marsh Billings Estate

I think the old Hemlocks on Mount Tom at the Marsh Billings National Historic Site are worth examining. Reportedly 400 years old, and the last 150 in a maintained and manicured forest, they probably show about how big and happy hemlocks can get in these conditions. Marsh Billings has the state record for a Norway Spruce, a planted tree 109 years old, but these old hemlocks are much more impressive.

- Next time I'm in the Marsh Billings, I'd like to at least get DBH on a few of these old hemlocks, and use some sort of crude triangulation for the height. There are a few like this one. Vermont's champion, according to the the state website, has 262 points. I guess this can give a run for record.

I would be curious to the height of that spruce.
