Thomas
and others:
I visited Bowdoin Park last Friday May 13).
I measured the large sycamore: 110 ft. tall, 27 ft. cbh, 47 yards
by 43
yards spread.
Someone else will have to calculate the points.
Also found some nice 120-130 ft. tulip one with 14.7 cbh 123 ft
tall.
I was hiking with non-measurement oriented folks so didn't get
much.
Would be worth another trip!

Hello -
I recently measured a huge Eastern Sycamore, totaling
about 497
points, which would make it a NY record, located in SW
Dutchess
County in Bowdoin Park. (A county park) . It has a huge
basal branch.
I wonder if it has been measured before. If it has been
measured,
what is the official measurement?
Also - is there a database showing top ranked trees by
species? For ex
- 10 largest Sycamores?
Thanks for your help!

That sycamore is huge! The Bowdoin
Park sycamore ranks up there with the top ones in the Northeast
of which I am aware. WAY COOL. BTW, where the heck is Bowdoin
Park? What's it near?

Bob,
It is near Wappinger Falls in south west Duchess County in the
state of
New York.
Across the Hudson from Newburg, just 8-9 miles off I-84 north on
NY 9D.

I get 468 for points on the sycamore. Height was probably
mismeasured in the past.
