Figure 1

Section from base of white oak tree from Mettler’s Woods. Arrow bearing the date 1627 points to the center of the tree. Those with 1641, 1652, 1662, 1676, 1701, and 1711 point to fire scars. The arrow with 1776 simply indicates the size of tree at that historical date. The horizontal white strip is marked off in inches. (Photo by F.J. Higgins.)
