Big tree

[salmonchaser]

Took a hike up between Starky, and Ukia, Oregon today. Found one of the largest Larch trees on record.

That is massive, to be sure. Larch are not particularly large up here.

Man that's a biggun. I'm like Dr Mike..........what I was always told was Larch trees were smaller spindly things. Had decent height but overall not large trees compared to similar age of other trees. Maybe I was being given wrong information.

In a good stand I wouldn't call them spindly, more like long and lean. All depends on elevation and latitude.

That's one huge stick!

That is a big tree for sure! Thanks for sharing that.

Yes, there's a stand/grove of western larch up above town here in central Washington that are big - I don't think they're that massive though. I enjoy seeing them, and I worry about them a bit during "fire season." So far, they've managed to survive & thrive.

Very cool. Reminds me of walking amongst the redwoods back in NorCal. Those were good times.

Haha! Dan, I’d be thinking: “reckon how many turkey calls are in that sucker”

Dang that’s a whopper! A sight to behold, for sure.
