Site Index

I went back today and measured 4 trees. The U tree that is a Shingle oak.
Circumference 55 3/8
Height 63 feet
Canopy 34 and 56'
Total points 129

The Persimmon is larger than others I have measured for the diameter. Its height is not that tall. This gives me an indication that the site index of this area is not good.

An Ash tree is the reason I am here at this location. I want to watch how this tree grows next to a dominate tree. This area not haveing a good site index will not show good growth characteristics for the Ash. But I still will come back from time to time to see what is happening.

This photo is of the U tree which is a Shingle oak.
