Cook Forest Yellow Buckeye   Dale J. Luthringer   Aug 06, 2004 09:02 PDT    Ed, I got a chance yesterday to measure the decent sized yellow buckeye along the Clarion River in the vicinity of the RT36 Bridge and Seneca Trails. I believe must have either been originally planted or washed downstream from another planting. I would venture a guess buckeye originated in the area back in the late 1890's or early 1900's. There are numerous small buckeyes in the vicinity of the two largest/oldest I've found, but no forest stands of them. Here's a quick tally of yesterdays sampling: Species CBH Height Comments Am. basswood 5.5 105.4 E. hemlock N/A 123.7 Hercules club 1.8 27.2 Yellow buckeye 9.7 89.7 tallest & largest found in the park to date, 41 19.914N x 79 12.554W I've attached an update of the largest/tallest trees that have been recorded in the park to date also.
