Must be 4-5 feet across at the base- sorry for the poor quality picture. The houses around here are only 60 yrs old. This tree must pre-date that. Anyone venture a guess on the age?

Or bore it w/ an increment borer if you can get a long enough one from your local college. Actually I doubt they'd loan it out...but maybe they'd be interested in boring it.

"Wrap the tape measure around the tree's trunk about four and one-half feet above the ground to measure the tree's circumference in feet. Multiply the tree's circumference by 3.14. The result will be the tree trunk's diameter."

I don't want them teaching me math.

There seem to be many factors in how fast a tree grows. I've seen yard maples with growth rings over a half inch apart. It was probably over a spring or something.

It can't be too much worse than a mysterious fungus on your butternut (splits).
