CoastalWx Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I'm not sure she is innocent per se, but at the very least this whole thing is mismanaged, and potentially massively covered up. I don't see how she is convicted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how she is convicted. It’s fascinating. I agree, I can’t see how she gets convicted. Too many weird things to not cast reasonable doubt. The state police investigator was obviously biased too. In the end it’s not whether she did it or not, it’s whether they proved she did it. And that seems to be a stretch right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think about watering established trees unless my soil moisture sensor is down around 80-100cb. The roots can go down and find water.

tunafish Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I don't have a sensor, but I generally don't water established trees unless it's severe Stein. You do want their roots to go deeper. If the tree or shrub is new, it gets watered 2x a week (if no significant rain). If it's in year 2, I'll water it 1x a week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyEnjoyer Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Any forestry mensuration enthusiasts in here? I went across the river on family land to neighbor's property - cross the river - very rural (I snooped, don't tell!), and found the biggest Bigtooth Aspen I've ever seen. Not old growth, but (I think?) fairly old second growth - single stem exceeds 30" in diameter at breast height in forest that has much bigger single stem White Pines, and, to be frank, I I think it's over 120ft in height, but I can't confirm that, don't own the optical gear. I feel like that's pretty f'ing large for that species? Or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Using circle trig a 118” circumference tree would have a diameter of roughly 37”. So if you found one 30”+ that’s right up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that's pretty f'ing large for that species? Or no? Guilty as charged. In 1991, while camping at Donnell Pond (a few miles east from Ellsworth) with my daughter, I saw several bigtooth aspen more than 30" dbh, just west from the pond and north of Schoodic Mountain. From a timber aspect, bigtooth is a much better tree than quaking aspen - less defect, better form, longer lived. Those big ones I saw 33 years ago were in a middle-aged stand (est. 60-70 yr) and might still be growing. That area is almost impossible to reach for harvesting, and Public Lands has no plans to try, both due to terrain and its proximity to one of the heavily used recreational lake in that region. Bigtooth leaves open 2-3 weeks after quaking, and the whitish-green "fur" on the undersides of the new leaves looks like silver from a distance. In mid-May the clonal clumps can be spotted from miles away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come across a few around here that really stand out compared to what's growing around them, beasts. Great as paint grade hardwood if you can get it clear and dried properly.

I'm going to measure this tulip poplar at my lake cabin in NW NJ when I head there in a few days. This thing is an absolute monster of a tree and one of the largest in the area. There are also some huge poplars here in Branford as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming from a perspective of hardwood lumber in which they are both lumped in together along with a few other types just as 'poplar'. Always looking to learn more.
