Wintervale Big Trees 12 and 13

leave a comment »

[John and Cyndie are supposed to be home by now from vacation in Iceland with our friends, Barb & Mike. I decided to give myself one extra day before getting back to live posts because my original tree survey left out two beauties that I added later and I was on a roll when scheduling the big trees before we left.]

The twelfth tree is an oak located outside the sunroom windows. It stands in the middle of our septic system drain field. It seems unperturbed by that fact.

 

Measuring a circumference of 134 inches, this oak is calculated to be approximately 200 years old.

The thirteenth tree is the oak beside the driveway up by the house where delivery trucks have snapped low-hanging branches and stick debris constantly litters the pavement.

 

Measuring a circumference of 137 inches, this oak is calculated to be approximately 200 years old.
