Scott,

Impressive collection of measurements. I assume all of these trees
are open grown, and single stem. I will need to add several of the
trees to the ENTS maximum dimension list. The tree that especially
catches my eye is the chalk maple. I've seen some large ones but
nothing like that. You've probably are done this, but have you
checked to make sure its not a Florida maple (Acer barbatum)?

Nice finds,
Jess
