ENTS,
Will Fell, Jess,
Yesterday I gave a seminar on hemlock woolly adelgid management
in Clayton,
GA. Before the seminar I had some time to explore a little in
Clayton and
along Warwoman Road.
I remeasured the insanely gorgeous State Champion black walnut
and came up
with the following dimensions.
Girth 18'11" (227")
Height 81'
Spread 101'
Max spread 112.2'
Longest limb 72'
Girth of longest limb 8'3"
Champion Tree Points= 333
The tree is listed as 305 points on the current online list. I
took lots of
photos!
Next I measured a beautiful pitch pine on Warwoman Road. It was
taller than
I expected!
Girth 7'7" (91")
Height 136.3' Tallest in GA?
Spread 46'
Max spread 51.5'
Champion Tree Points= 227
While measuring the spread of the pitch pine I bumped into a
Virginia pine
which looked tall. I shot straight up with the laser and when 39
yards came
back I was floored!
Girth 5'2" (62")
Height 121.9' New eastern height record?
Spread 32'
Max spread 39.4'
Champion Tree Points= 192
Shortleaf pine looked to reached 130'+. Georgia has some really
nice pines!
