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 eleventh tree is an oak located between the kennel and the woodshed. My brother, Elliott climbed into this tree with ropes to trim some branches for me many years ago. That meant an awful lot to me. What a gift.

This tree is the second largest of the survey, just one inch bigger than its neighbor, the tenth tree by the kennel, and six inches smaller in circumference than the Mother Tree.

Measuring a circumference of 139 inches, this oak is calculated to be approximately 200 years old.
