This striking #Pecan #tree (#Carya_illinoinensis ) at #ArnoldArboretum towers over its neighbors at 97’+ (29.5 m). The seed was sourced by Robert Ridgway who documented the incredibly diverse, often gargantuan, and now effectively obliterated trees of southern Illinois and Indiana. The Boston tree is the scion of a near-mythic forest, perhaps the very 150’ (46 m) individual photographed with Robert.

Backlit image of a Pecan in front of the sun with a blue sky overhead. The image is from circa Halloween and the tree has largely yellowish foliage. It towers above the trees and shrubs below (I think the closest is Parrotia?)
Black and white image centered on a very tall Pecan trunk with no sign of a canopy. There is a figure seated at the base. Text reads: “Height, more than 150 ft.; spread 100 ft.; trunk, 60 ft.; circumference, 30 ft. at ground, 18 1/2 ft., at 6 ft. from base.”
