Q

1. What was the diameter of the tree you measured?
2. Based on your DBH data, do you think the tree you measured was old and well-established, or young and newly planted? Why do you think that?
   
3. What is the distance of your tree to the nearest man-made structure? How could that impact the growth of the tree?
4. What other observations did you make?
5. What species of trees did you find at Westgate?

A

1. I measured 3 trees. The first had a circumference of 66 inches. The next had one of 52 inches, and the last had one of 86 inches.
2. I think that all of those trees were old and well established because they all were pretty big and none of them were sagging and/or dead.
3. The first tree was 78 inches away, the second was 40 inches away, and the last tree was 525 inches away from a man-made object.
4. I also figured out that a lot of the trees at Westgate were planted at different times because of there size and circumference. They were different.
