Maybe he has small feet...

(from craigslist)

I have 3 cords of chestnut wood cut not split and I also have at least 2 more cords in board length not cut up. Trees were 4 feet in dia. I also will have at least 3 cords of ash once tree is down. That tree is 7 ft in dia. I am asking 300 for the cut up wood make a offer on the rest.

Uhh.. chestnut? Really? 7 feet in diameter? Really? Maybe he means circumference?

Metric feet.

Hey, if his measurements works with his immediate group of "associates", why not you? :-/

Dont you believe the guy

make sure you take that camera when you go get it. I want to see a pic of that stump.....

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Nothing to it. 7 feet ain't no big deal.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Ash tree.......not that it changes much about the ad.

(you're right about the ash tree... I misread)

Backwoods - Maybe in the redwood forests out West it's no big deal, but nothing like that exists in Massachusetts, at least not that I've ever seen.

I've got a few MASSIVE Sycamore out my way, but they're maybe 5' dia at the most.

I have some giant Ash, Oak, Cherry and Sycamore. I have one Ash tree that has four trunks and each trunk is probably 4 feet in diameter. 4X4 would be 16 feet total. I hope it does not die from the Ash borer.

Fattest tree I've seen in MA is the copper Beech in my mother's yard...sucker is a good 5-6 feet is diameter.

thats a big a$$ tree right there. theres probably some big ones on private properties randomly thoughout NE but on the whole there aren't many, if any trees that would be 7' across. maybe some that split off young and have several trunks.

Quick google search yielded this hit about a green beech in fall river, MA with a circumference of 293 inches...works out to be about 73/4 feet in diameter.
