A seriously old example of a Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) on an old farm in Ashtabula County. Big, thick, gnarly, with some serious bark. What a tree!!
🌳🇺🇲🌳💪🌳👀🌳A GIANT for sure at over 250" in circumference and over 87' tall. The tree is estimated to be older than the old house that was built in 1823.

Here's the follow-up to the new American Basswood (Tilia americana) tree in the Mantua area of Portage County courtesy of MAC. Thank you for the invite and the tour of your beautiful piece of property.

What a beauty of a Basswood. An older forest grown tree that became an open grown tree around 30 years ago. Roughly 45' or more to the first branch. A spectacular tree 🌳.

A HOSS indeed at 182" in circumference, over 91' tall, with a nice crown spread. Almost 300 points. Easily in the top 5 for Ohio when it comes to known MEGA Basswood trees. 🌳🇺🇲🌳👀🌳💪🌳
