Clint trimming a tree at Wilmore's.
We are very grateful to the Lord and Wimore for the front room we sometimes use for group meetings and Bible study. It's a nice, quiet little spot with dozens of nearly tame Eastern Cottontails.
This is an old black elm that was filling the gutter with leaves. Clint removed some branches to get more light and air to the back of the home. Our thoughtful and sweet Bethany did the gutter cleaning.
The elm is 14 feet 6 inches in circumference. 14 feet!! Wow! That makes it around 265 years old. That means it started around 1754 which is 22 years before our nation was officially formed in 1776! This tree has stood through so many storms and has seen so much change. Willie's old tree is special!
"The Elm with stem circumference of 168 inch is approximately 265 years old."
This one says the elm tree is 214 years old. It only does one type of elm.
"Estimated Age of Tree: 214 years old.
This tree could have started growing in 1805.
About 1805: In 1805, Thomas Jefferson was President. Our flag had 15 stars, which included latest states Vermont and Kentucky."
