Dale, ENTS

Had a nice hike today at the 600+ acre Tyler Arboretum in Delaware Co.
Pa. In my travels I measured a Fraser Magnolia. It measured out at
4.3 x 55.9 x 52 for 121 points. This is our new state champ, as the
other tree died and was removed.

Secondly I found a nice Mockernut Hickory that measured out to 7.2 x
124.3 x 39 for 220 points putting it in fifth place in the state
contest. This tree is a new state height champ, I believe. (Dale??)
and will raise the rucker for Tyler Arboretum to 124.2 from 123.1. A
whole foot, woo hoo!!

Outstanding!

Great stuff, Scott. I'll update the PA Tall Tree list with these. I
don't have Fraser magnolia on the list yet.

I've yet to measure any mockernut on this end of the state. Your new
one beats the last I have that you measured at the Sisters of St.
Francis.

What are your top 10 species for the Tyler Arboretum? As long as
they're all ENTS measured, I'll add that to the state's Rucker
Comparison List. That will make eight 120 or better RI class sites for
PA.

Niiiiiiice,

Dale

The spring flowers were just starting, I saw spring beauty, Blood

not working, I should be able to get out a little more locally.
