I was over at the arborist site and they had a post about big trees. Sooo I take my camera out to get a few shots.

This is the biggest tree in my woodlot. I suppose it was too large to log back in the day so they just left it. The state record White Oak in Indiana is 283" circumference @ 4.5' height!
I measured mine at that height and came up 40.5 inches short @242.5". It is still a monster and pictures do it no justice! I did the math and at the root flare it is over 10' diameter!
