ENTS,

Last week I located a large forest grown pignut hickory that is growing on
my uncles property which is not far from Ludwigs Corner in Chester Co., Pa.
Saturday I returned with my brother to get some measurements.  It's 9'1" x
126' x 71'.  It's max spread is 80' and scores 253 pts.  It's a new
runner-up to the state champ.  This woodlot is +/- 100 acres, I'm guessing,
with several different owners.  It is an excellent place to do a Rucker
Index.  I have spent a lot of time in these woods but it's been 10+ years
since I last walked in them.  There may be a few more surprises in it yet.
I'll be maintaining my uncles property this year so I'll have plenty of time
to explore.  Photos are of the pignut and a large double stem chestnut oak.
