Figure 43. — Old Utah, Aged Juniper Near Logan Canyon Highway, Cache 

 National Forest, Utah 



An oak on Willoughby Bay (58, p. 11), at the summer home of 

 J. A. Ridgeville, has a circumference of 19 feet and a spread of 57 

 feet. Its distinction is its great age, which is estimated to be between 

 500 and 600 years. 



Live oaks at Fort Monroe, near the reviewing stand on the parade 

 ground (58, p. 19) are among the northernmost live oaks to be found 

 in the United States. There is every evidence that these oaks were 

 here when the first settlers arrived in Virginia. 



A pecan tree at Brandon-on-the-James, is between 10 and 11 feet 

 in trunk diameter, which means that it has a circumference between 

 31 and 34 feet. This tree is believed to have been well established 

 when the house was built in 1770 (58, p. 14).
