Tues. Trivia for Two

What is the largest tree(?) piece of cake, : ' >. According to my information: how many average size homes can be built out of this one tree.

Re: define largest ;-)

Largest means bigger than all the rest--- Size really does matter.

Re: define largest ;-)

When we measure a tree for a champ, the points are calculated by the following:

1 point for each inch of circumference of trunk at 4.5' above the ground.

1 point for each foot, to tallest point of tree

Then their is some crown spread stuff, but generally is relative small numbers compare the the first two parameters. In other words: don't think I need to go there, too much mud. : ' >.

So the biggest trees are bigger by the above measurements.

I'd guess the giant sequoia, and a whole bunch of homes.

Re: Giant sequoia, is correct

Care to define: whole bunch, : ' >. Get homes within 10%.

I read last night the average home jumped from 1500 to 2500 sq.ft. Not sure which house average the source used, : " >.

I'll guess 24 homes.

Re: Giant sequoia, is correct &...

the second part is 40 average houses. I've always heard Sequoia wood is brittle and is not very useful(?).

Thanks to all those that played
