CoastalWx Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The place we are staying at has the most massive tree I've ever seen. I can't even begin to describe how big this thing is. Does anyone know what type of tree this is? I've seen those trees before. Newport has these trees I've never seen up this way...they might survive with slightly warmer winters or perhaps they were just planted there.

tamarack Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The place we are staying at has the most massive tree I've ever seen. I can't even begin to describe how big this thing is. Does anyone know what type of tree this is? Looks like the weeping variety of European beech. I saw some in Newport that approached 5' in diameter. However, they get big fairly quickly when open-grown, so I'd say 100-125 yr old. (Certainly not 500, unless Amerigo Vespucci planted it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European rich planted them, it gets just as cold in Newport at times as you, a 2 degree average temp difference has nothing to do with survivability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, yeah it's probably planted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hydration won't prevent sunburn but it sure helps if you have one. 100% aloe is by far the best for burns. Slather it on 3-4x/day and a moderate sunburn is much better the next day. Meanwhile a lovely 75/68 at 8:30am. Hopefully get some cloud cover today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
