Description. A tall tree, which, in America, according to Michaux, varies 

 in heiglit from 100 ft. to 180 ft., with a straight trunk, from about 4 ft. to G ft. 

 or 7 ft. in diameter. The trunk is generally free from branches for two thirds 

 or three fourths of its height ; the branches are short, and in whorls, or 

 disposed in stages one above another, nearly to the top, which consists of 

 three or four upright branches, forming a small" conical head. In rich strong
