ENTS,
Measured another 20' + CBH today in Ocean Springs, Ms. Growing at
1002 Labranche Ave. The tree grows atop a small hillside approx, 300
yards from the Ms., Sound. The owners were kind enough to let me
measure and photograph it. During Hurricane Katrina it had 4' of
saltwater under it. Every home west of there property was destroyed
during the storm. The tree, the hill and a huge house west of them
provided a shield stopping the 20+ tidal surge from taking there
house. The Labranche Oak, CBH-22', Height-52.5' and Spread-117'.
Bob, Hope all is well!
Larry
