RICHARDS OAK.
Report On the Condition Of the
Richards Oak, Cecil County,
For the Hytheham Club.
By Karl e. Pfeiffer, Asst. Forester.
July 15, 1920.

At the request of Miss Virginia
Vanneman to the State Forester, the
writer met the Hytheham Club on
Thursday, the 18th, and inspected
the White Oak known as the Rich
ards Oak ON the Conowingo-Rlsine
Sun State Road.
The tree was found to be 2l feet
| 7 inches in circumference four feet
from the ground. This would give
a diameter at that height of 6 feet 1O
inches. The spread was approximate
ly lO5 feet and the height is roughly
estimated at 70 feet. From local in
formation the tree is said to be over
800 years old.
The tree seems to be in GOOD
health, but there are several places
OH" the trunk which need attention
At the base there is small tr1ang-
ular opening about two feet wide.
The center of the tree here appears
to be quite rotten, but the depth o.
this rot could not be ascerta1neo.
There is strip about Is feet from
the ground and approximately feet
in width where the bark has come OH
and the wood underneath has rotted,
This rot appears only to be shallow
not more than 5 inches of rotten
wood to be found before the sound
wood is reached. The bark on either
side of this strip is healing over ana
if this decayed wood is removed,
there seems to be no reason why the
bark should not come together i'll
time, entirely doing away with THIS
scar. There are quite number or
dead branches on the upper part OF
the tree which should be removed be-
fore they start to decay and thus
weaken the heart of the tree. IL
was noticed that several branches
had been cut off improperly, that ls
to say, a stump varying from to
or 4 feet had been left and these
were beginning to decay, thus max
ing another cause and affording
another opportunity for injury to the
tree.
recommendations.
1t is recommended that the cavity
at the base be thoroughly excavated
and all of the decayed wood remoV-
ed, then this opening filled up with
concrete so that any decaying in the
heart of the tree will be stopped and
the opening heal over. The shallow
strip down the tree should be thor
oughly gone over and all the dead
and decayed wood removed, then II
this strip is not too deep, it should
be thoroughly painted with coal tar.
If, however, the decayed wood ex-
tends back into the tree too far, 1t
will have to be filled in with cement
or asphaltum. The dead branches
should be removed flush to the tree
or the branch from which it comes
and then painted over with tar. II
some of the large spreading lateral
branches appear to be TOO heavy,
they can be supported TO the trunk
by means of eye-bolts and chains.
The cost of this work will probably
be around $3.50 but no definite sum
can be named because of the uncer-
tainity as to how much decayed mat
ter there is to remove. This is tho
most expensive part of tree surgery,
as it is all hand labor and therefore
takes time. If there is not so much
of this eXcaVating, the cost will prob
ably not be as great as estimated, but
on the other hand, if there should be
lot of excavating the cost will run
higher.

a bay where a fleet of fishing boats
lay at anchor.
The townsfolk, largely Mexican
fishermen, gave them warm well
