Biggest trees on your property,,,and rock piles on your farm /property got any pictures or stories tonight for R Boots?

My rocks are 75' down, not a bad thing.

Buckeye · Mar 11, 2016

Dug out a big pile of rocks while doing some tiling last year. We guessed they may have been placed in a stump hole years ago. They had at
least a foot of topsoil on them. Have some fossil imprints on some.

I think the biggest Tree(S) near the buildings is the Willow "twins" on the corner of the wind break....No clue what is all in the woods(likely Bigger ones out there).

The rock piles are off to side of the driveway or under the wind break not much on em now we tried to fill in mud holes awhile ago again. Could use more again, clay eats anything that is pressed into it..

No pictures of either to dark/foggy now, and who takes pictures of random (not interesting) trees and rocks anyway.

This is one of my big ash killed by the ash bore. Lost all my ash. That is a 20" bar
on my saw.

My father and I measured my biggest cottonwood -- 17 feet around -- 100 plus feet tall -- lets see pie r-ed square is 3.14 that makes it 5.41
feet across -- that is 5 feet above ground level -- its in north west iowa -- bet they dont grow that big in texas -- or do they?

john in la · Mar 11, 2016

Every rock on my place was hauled here.
You guys post pictures of rocks coming right out the ground.
Our ground eats rocks.

I have a few oak trees that have to be 3 to 4 feet across but no pictures.

This is the Cottonwood that was at the northeast corner of my property. My neighbor and I had it topped before any more broke off. It is just the trunk now about 30 feet high.

sorry about the sideways photo, I don't know how to rotate it to be right.

Fawteen · Mar 11, 2016

About 10% of the freakin' rocks on my place. And I'm darn near rock-free compared to most places around here.

They don't call it the rockbound coast of Maine for nothin'...

I have a pecan tree in my yard that is 16 ft and 5 inches around measured at chest height. The man that planted it died in 1912 so it is at least
that old. It was a big tree in late forties and early 50's. I can't remember the pie formula to measure diameter, but pecan pie r good. Tommy

This was the biggest tree on my property back in CT. It was 150 to 160 feet tall (Tulip on a slope 99 rings approx) and the cut measured
44". A friend who's father was in the tree business claimed that customers always over estimate the height but I cut a smaller one on the
property and it measured out to 125'. That one tree heated the house for a whole winter as I remember.
I made a deal with a stone wall company to give him some stone for free if he loaned me a couple of workers to help load my bucket. He
took two dump loads away, 20 tons each and this was only from about a quarter acre of my 2.5 acre lot. I buried three times that on one
more half acre.

Larry,
I think this whole post got turned "upside down". Must have been a hell of a windstorm.

do these piles count

Heyseed · Mar 12, 2016

Around here you can get 10 pounds of rock out of a five pound hole. Nearest town is named Flint Hill. This county has hundreds of miles of dry stacked stone walls (slave walls)I'm told some are 300 years old.
This is my road and the Oak Tree has about an 16 foot circumference at chest height.

How about a big ugly tree on our place.

sms · Mar 12, 2016

We have plenty of rocks also. You can see one of the many stonewalls on our place in the backround.

RBoots · Mar 12, 2016

Thanks Larry! Was
working on some stuff
last night and didn't
even get a chance to
check in. We farm some
huge rock piles around
here along the river,
but it is too muddy to
even get to our huge
rockpiles or trees to
take pictures. Being
from a timber family, I
just like to see nice,
big trees. Make some
nice stuff from real
tree wood, not fake
stuff. Everyone hates
them, until they have to
wipe with a pinecone.

Not a big rock but before I dug it out of
the field it was hit many times with
tillage equipment. You can see the many
scars. Jim

sms · Mar 12, 2016

Couple more tree and rock pictures. Our
place was sidehill farmland but is
going back to woods. I could post lots
of stonewall pictures.

Dave Sherburne, NY · Mar 12, 2016

These two oak trees are the only 2 left from an acre of them. Previous owner said his great grandfather planted them when he returned from the civil war. A few years ago I collected about 100 acorns and planted them in a corner of the garden. About 30 of them came up. I now have 8 oak trees on the property about 5 ft. tall. The remainder of the seedlings I gave away.
