ENTS,
Yesterday I measured 4 more Live Oaks, 2 in Ocean Springs and 2
in Bay
St. Louis, Ms. The first 2 are located at the Treasure Oak
Country Club,
where I measured The Treasure Oak, with my Daughter, and
Grandson, last
Dec. The first Oak measured, CBH-23'3",Spread-120' and
Height-75'. The
second Oak measured, CBH-25', Spread-123' and Height-57'. There
are
numerous Oaks located at the Country Club but these and the
Treasure Oak
are the largest.

The first two photos are, 1. Danielles Oak, CBH-25, Spread-123 and Height-57. |

The next two photos are, 2. Collins Oak, CBH-233, Spread-233, Spread-120 and Height 75. Both located at the Treasure Oak Country Club, Hwy., 90 Ocean Springs, Ms. |
I then left
Ocean Springs and
headed west about 30 miles to Bay St. Louis, in Hancock Co., Ms.
I
haven't been there since Hurricane Katrina. They took the full
force of
the storm, with a 30-35' storm surge! Destroying about 2 city
blocks,
the water went inland about 1-2 miles, covering Hwy 90 4' deep.
Bay St.
Louis is a Older City with Old Town Charm and many historical
buildings
and homes. I went to city hall and got a map, and talked to a
few gals
on there work break about large Oaks. They headed me in the
general
direction and off I went. The first tree I measured located at
132
Sycamore St., CBH-25'5", Spread-111' and Height-60'. The
second tree is
located at 299 South Second St., CBH-23'3", Spread-105'and
Height-66'.

The next two photos are, 1. The Sycamore St., Oak, CBH-25, Spread-111 and Height-60. |
|
|
The next two photos are,
2. The Lumberyard Art Center, CBH-233, Spread-105 and 66. Both trees are located in Bay St. Louis, Ms. |
There are
Thousands of Live Oaks in Hancock Co, I did locate a registered
Oak that
had been measured and maybe cored in 1998, by an arborist. One
of the
city hall workers told me about this Oak, I'll have to go back
to measure
it at a later date because the Homeowners were not there.
Ed, I will send some photos of these Oaks and the last two Oaks
I
measured in Biloxi. I also will send a updated listing of the
Oaks
measured to date.
