Pacific Grove, Aug 6, '08
Age of Monterey Cypress. Trees grow rapidly when young. I have no reason for thinking they do not grow as rapidly in the woods here as in cultivation. I found one cut (sawed) log in Cypress Point woods. It was 2 feet in diameter and had 98 rings. Evidently the cut was near the base. Sawed in order to clear wagon road. Cut a long time and rings very indistinct.
