Wintervale Big Trees 2
[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 second tree I measured was chosen because it was right next to the first tree.
Based on the leaves that are hard to see because they are so high up, I believe it is an elm.
Measuring a circumference of 95 inches, this big elm calculates to approximately 120 years old.

Wintervale Big Trees 1

…
The first tree I measured was chosen for its prominent location and because it was the tree that first caught my eye when we initially visited the property with the intent of purchasing these 20 acres.
It is a Maple with a big burl knot growing on it.
Measuring a circumference of 98 inches, this precious specimen calculates to approximately 140 years old.
