Here is a photo of Shumard oak. I have not been able to tell the difference between this tree and Northern red oak, unless I can see the buds. Now that the tree is on the ground I ID it as a Shumard oak because of the straw colored buds.
Here you can see the weakness in the bole of the tree that more than likely weakened it which caused it to fall in a storm.
The tree being down made it easy to measure.
Circumference at 4 1/2 feet was 91"
The height was 74'
The canopy was 71' across 18 (for tree points you count 1/4 of canopy)
Total points 183
2 Samuel 3:38 "Then the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?"
