16_164 Pt. Reyes, Inverness, Olema These trees were 100 to 150 feet high and 1 1/2 to 3 feet in diameter at the base. An oak tree which fell directly across rift was 2 ft. in diameter and 40 ft. h. I saw no case of a tree split vertically because of standing on the rift. A Douglas fir tree on very margin of rift was left standing perfectly erect but the rift had cut through its root system snapping them in two well on the other side of rift where they became smaller and weaker. The earth on this side settled, exposing the jagged ends of the roots belonging to the Douglas fir on other side |
16_165 Nov. 11 -12, 1906. - Bay Laurel, remarkable tree with trunk regularly expanded towards ground. Not swollen at ground merely but pyramidal like up to 7 ft. then branching into the crown. It was 24 ft. in circ. [circumference] at the ground, 14 ft. in circ. (at 8 ft. from lower side and at 4 ft. from upper side), the upper (hill) side eaten away and hollowed by fire as if a considerable portion of tree had gone. No. 2624. Inverness Road. Rhamnus Californica. 8 ft. h. - Douglas spruce, in Italian Canyon, first canyon beyond Brook's place, Inverness Road. 16 ft. 4 in. circ. at 4 ft; 22 ft. circ. at 4 ft. trees 150 ft. high. |
