I think they have some data integrity problems: https://tree-map.nycgovparks.org/#treeinfo-3752098 https://tree-map.nycgovparks.org/#treeinfo-3752098 Trunk Diam

  I feel like... from some spot checking, these are all circumferences, not diameters.
  • CapitalistCartr 10y ago
    That'd still be an 11 foot dia. trunk.

      That is certainly possible, though rare inside a city. Much bigger trees exist.

      Not saying that some data points aren't also simply wrong. But many more become plausible if you divide them by pi ;)

    I mean, you can see the tree in the picture. Looks like a typo that should be 4.24 or something

  That's equivalent to about 10.8m. Apparently, there's a giant sequoia that's [EDIT: at max 11.1m], so it's not unfathomable but likely an error as you noted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Sherman_(tree) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Sherman_(tree)

    > Apparently, there's a giant sequoia that's 24.1m wide I'm not sure where you got that number, but according to the link you provided, the max diameter of General Sherman is 11.1 m

      You are correct; I apologize. I misinterpreted girth in the Google result I found as width. I edited my original comment.

  Apparently in addition to Greenwich Village, NYC has an Ewok Village.
