Observation Narrative
Trees on this mountain top are very much the damaged by past ice storms. The resulting canopy openings and relatively rich rocky soils create a lush herbaceous layer. Hydrophyllum virginianum does very well here. Such ridge crests are the only major habitat supporting Prunus virginiana in the district. Measured trees (dbh in cm.): Quercus alba (25.5), Prunus serotina (28.8), Tilia americana (32).
