@holy-cow ahh, and I thought @rankin_file was recording a shot he took on an oddly proportioned teacher.
24" & 32" twin white oak
24" & 32" & 36" triple white oak
?ÿ
I've always had a problem calling them twins if the trunks aren't at least close to the same diameter.
I would call it 24" & 32" double white oak.
M3 10-8-6" OAK 28'
I have it set up in Civil3D in the description key set to automatically scale and describe the tree based off the field call (to an extent). In your situation I??d measure the base of the trees total diameter to accurately plot its footprint, then measure each trunk at 48? above the ground (breast height) for the correct labeling of each trees size. I used to average them, but when you start getting into big clusters the size doesn??t accurately scale compared to its footprint.
TWNC 30 F 24 F 20, plots a twin conifer symbol with a 30? diameter footprint, and lets me know to label it a 24? Fir and 20? Fir.
TWND = Twin deciduous
CLUC = Cluster of Conifer trees
CLUD = Cluster of deciduous trees
I was told by a forester that the correct term is bifurcated.?ÿ I code most points including trees, so my code always begins with a "T".?ÿ In this example "T Oak28-26 Bif".?ÿ
North Carolina has 29 species of oaks and I can only identify about eight without a guide.?ÿ If I know it's a live oak I'll add that to the description too.?ÿ?ÿ
Stump.
Well, now,?ÿ you see, I would call that a "lady" tree.?ÿ If a limb had sprung forth a short distance above the joining of the "legs" and then been sawed off some distance outward from the trunk(s) and died, it could be called an "old man" tree
