Northern Red Oak



Here is the largest Northern Red oak I have measured. In measuring I broke my tape so the circumference was not measured. I just measured the diameter. Some day I will come back and check the circumference. I was wondering how I was going to get the tape around the tree. If you look at the base the tree is on a fairly seep hill. So by breaking the tape I never found out how I was going to measure the circumference. I had that tape for 7 years, and it was not that expensive.

I knitted 2 photos together to get this one. I am not experienced at this but I guess it came out OK. My daughter gave me some help!

Height 111'
Canopy 66' and 56'
Diameter 47"
Points 273.7
