While in the redwood forest today, I photographed the trunk of a poison oak plant - tree really.
Biggest I've ever seen - lowest visible foliage was about 150' up, maybe higher. It vanished out of view into the redwood.
The trunk was about 4" DBH. Must be a hundred years old, although I'd suspect much more.
Attached image of it's lower trunk.
Here's my question too, for you climbers...
What do you do about pruning or removing trees that have poison oak vines in them?
Some weeks back, I put together this page on poison oak http://www.mdvaden.com/poison_oak.shtml
and was still amazed how how long-lasting the irritant in it is.
Can trees with the vines be removed?
