Observation Narrative
Plot located on southern flank of Pompey Mountain summit on gently sloping crest, ca. 30 m west of Henry Lanum Loop Trail runs ca. 30 m to the east. The gnarled Quercus rubra here appear to qualify as old growth. The plot is not as diverse as to be found on other, more fertile granitic ridge crests, and consequently there is relatively little Carya ovata present.
Measured trees in plot (dbh in cm.): Quercus rubra (62.1), Quercus alba (37.2), Prunus serotina (42.5).
