Ents-
Last Tuesday
I went back to D'Olive Plantation in Daphne Ala.,
to measure the Andrew Jackson Oak. While there I also measured
the Ala.
State Champion Darlington Oak, and the State Champion Bluff Oak.
There
were some fairly large Sweetgums and one large Loblolly, most
trees
there are under 80' in Height. The Park is some but a tranquil
place
near Mobile Bay.
