I tried sending the below message the other day but it got kicked back
apparently because of an attached photo (~50 KBs). Then I tried sending
without the photo attached but it still wouldn't go through for some reason.
I can email the photo to anyone who's interested.




ENTS:

I've attached a photo of a huge red oak tree in the side yard of a friend of
mine here in Warren, PA. I measured the bole at 62.3" dbh. I don't know how
tall it is, but I would guesstimate very close to 100' and perhaps more than
that. The crown has a wide spread, well up and over the rooftop of the large
Victorian mansion the tree is next to.

I asked the owner if he would mind if one of you guys wanted to come over
and get more detailed measurements for the height and crown spread, etc.,
and he said that would be fine. If anyone is interested in measuring this
tree, shoot me an email and I can give you the owner's name, address, and
phone number. He is also interested in getting advice on how best to
maintain the health of the tree over time.
