    Portland neighbors fight to save rare tree

    Think I may drive over there later today just "because" I've got spare time. On Google Earth, it looks bigger than most trees for blocks and blocks around. Should toss in my laser to find the height near exact.

    Pin Oak Form

    [ QUOTE ] A closeup of the forks would be needed before pruning can be specified. The sprouts are reiterations, the tree's response to overextension. They are NOT watersprouts. Reduce them to mitigate included bark, mainly. Mulch and companion plants would not be bad and yes if it's the...
