Good Call

I have seen alot of the same, we had a strong storm that came through central wisconsin last summer. the pines that failed snapped off about 20 to 30 feet up, everything else just shed branches or uprooted. I am going to assume that the bartlett research is for more open grown trees, but that i do not know.
 
Norm , that tree was " Histtree " two hours after I saw it , those were cell phone shots , since can't afford a real digital camera like TK . This tree should have come down years ago , here's a cell shot of the base . The top after brushed it was just teetering , a good part fell apart when I was "dismantling" it " . Ever hear that rap song " I love my bucket , yup , yup " ?

Yeah, where a trunk would fail would be totally dependent on the individual tree and it's surroundings, like whether or not it is in the open or in woods, where it's center of gravity is and where defects might be, if it's in the woods is it emergent or exposed, & cetera. Just saying "average 3-4 feet" or "20-30" feet doesn't really say much, you know? Some places, trees average 20-30 feet, other places they can average 200 feet. Hell, some places they can average 3-4 feet.
