| On March 14, 2010 the Eastern Native Tree
Society and Western Native Tree Society switched from
discussion lists on Google Groups to a new discussion
list in a Bulletin Board format at:
http://www.ents-bbs.org/index.php
Posts made since the inception of the BBS on March 14,
2010 will be sorted and archived on the BBS. Click on
the link to go to the equivalent section on the new BBS.
This website will continue to serve as a front end for
the ENTS and WNTS groups. It will continue to serve as a
repository of older posts, and will serve as the host
site for special projects and features that are not well
suited for a BBS format. Please visit the BBS for the
latest information and trip reports. |

- Loblolly Pine - Formerly the largest recorded, the tree tallied
10,971 board feet (International 1/4") scale, which is probably
in the 7,000 board foot (Doyle scale) range. There is a picture of
this pine in a publication by H.H. Chapman of Yale University with a
lumberman and early southern forestry pioneer Henry Hardtner of the
Urania Lumber Company (Louisiana). The loblolly was 54" DBH
(14.1' CBH) and very low in taper, being 40 inches in diameter at a
height of 96 feet. Total height of this tree was 165 feet.
