ENTS,            
                                                    
Measured another Live Oak on my way home from work yesterday. I had seen
this tree a month or so ago and decided to check it out. Located in
Gulfport, Ms. on private property. The homeowner named the tree the
Olivioak in honor of their grand-daughter. CBH-21'7", Height-58.5' and
Spread-111'.

A middle-aged specimen, single trunk, 200-300, years old.
Temp. yesterday 95, heat index 105. Bob, I'll trade your summers for our
winters.

Larry,

   I've been a little out of the loop. How many 20+ footers are you up
to? 30-footers?

   At this point, our New England summers are a bit confusing. Is it
going to be hot? Is it going to be cold? Yes, it's going to do both. We
had a 97 the other day. Today it is delightful. Global warming sucks
pond water!
