Relative Something

[John and Cyndie are currently on vacation in Iceland with our friends, Barb & Mike Wilkus. While we are gone, I am featuring the results of the big tree survey I did in August on our property.]

…

The ninth tree brings us back to the oaks again. It also brings us back to the crown jewel tree I’ve already made a reference to in an earlier post. It is the tree we are calling the Mother Tree. It is deserving of another look. A year ago this tree dropped so many acorns we started referring to the trail that passes beneath it as “ball bearing alley.”

Measuring a circumference of 145 inches, this mother oak is calculated to be approximately 220 years old.
