I'm not holding it close to the camera, it's actually on my laptop. Freakin' thing is almost 12 inches from the tip to the end of the stem. Y'all have mutant trees out here ;-)
Too bad the "Burr Oak" is almost extinct. I'd love to have you see a full grown one of them. There was a 350 year old tree in Lexington Ky. that was cut down in the 90's for a branch bank parking lot. It was one of the last. It had leaves 14 inches long X eight inches wide; and Acorns the size of baseballs.---Ray
Sadly the giant 300 to 500 year old giant Oaks and Rock Maples have all been cut down to make way for trailer parks, fast food joints and branch banks. The horse farms that made Ky. famous were bulldozed ,along with historic plantation homes and graveyards to "make way" for tacky subdivisions and super wal-marts. A Squirrel would be damn lucky indeed to find an old growth tree left in Kentucky.---Ray
