ENTS,

On Saturday evening I went to Jackson Park to take note of some decent sized trees I knew were there. Jackson Park is a 250 acre wetland park located just outside downtown Hendersonville NC. While many know it for its ball fields, BMX tracks & other sports related activities it has some really nice forests and marshy ponds. In summer it is abloom with aquatic plants and other flora. It also has some nice trees. Especially oaks and white pines. Some decent silver maples are to be found here also.

11 foot 4.25 inch White Oak

 12ft 1 inch White Oak

 American Holly

Here are some cbh measurements of trees found there. I also attached some photos & uploaded one to the file page of the 12' 1" White Oak.
