Concord Road, Ashton Twp, PA   wad-@comcast.net   Feb 01, 2006 21:21 PST  Dale, ENTS I stopped by a site at Concord road and Redhill Road in Aston twp that used to be owned by a ship captain in the 1800's. Ed, the site is . The site is park like on about 4 acres. The remnants of his collection are still present. The list reads like most Victorian collections. Hinoki Cypress Pendant Linden Pin Oak Saucer Magnolia English Walnut Pond Cypress Japanese False Cypress Hemlock White Pine Horse Chestnut Osage Orange Umbrella Magnolia Arborvitae I measured a few of the stand outs: Pendant Linden 17.7 CBH 70' tall 77' spd new state co champ Pond cypress 6.7 CBH 63.2' tall 15' spread Hinoki cypress 8.3 CBH 58.7' tall 36' spread new state co champ Pink flowering american dogwood 6.2 CBH 34' tall 42' spread new state co champ for dogwood, only pink flowering one reported. I measured the pin oak too, but the numbers are at work. It was a new state co champ also. I have been trying to get my organization to purchase this plot before it gets developed as the original house burned a long time ago. A very nice old lady owns it now. She lives in the old tenant house to the mansion. Scott   Home
