Nice of all of you to brag about those big trees. Don't have to may of them, but we have this! Salix Herbacea, known as the worlds smallest tree! Rages at sizes between 1-5 centimeters.

Awesome post! If you can't go big, go ridiculously small!

Tough to measure the CBH (circumference at 4.5') on this one!

On a another note, Michael Taylor and I did a bushwhack in southern Oregon today. Found what should be the tallest known pine tree. A ponderosa at 268 feet

The top is very healthy and vigorous looking, at least from the pics.

Great! Nice looking ponderosa, big bark plates. Not surprising, the tallest are never the fattest.

Thanks Gord - climbing that tree was so fun for me - as a kid I never in a million years thought I would - I look at is more a blessing to have had the opportunity - if that makes sense...

Looks to be a "Elk Horn Fern"??

Is that tree also called Schefflera? The leaves look just like a common indoor tropical plant.

Awesome tree. Thanks for posting!

I just viewed this thread for the first time.

Exactly my thoughts as well, leaves look like a common indoor tropical plant, one of the very many I'm taking care of.

Is it the same?

 

[theXman]

definitly looks like elk horn, stag horn. another tropical I've been keeping alive, for like 5 years now.
