Discussion: Biggest Rootstock

OK, I am pretty sure that this one would be a DQ under the Rules of Competition - following not allowed, i.e., you didn't find it yourself... ;)

...and it´s not on your land like the other one...

Does it have to be on an O-map to count? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody maps it . . .

Re following: I can pretty much guarantee that no one else out there was looking for the world's largest rootstock. So clearly we weren't following.

Re ownership: Similar to a previous claim regarding a rootstock in an Ontario provincial park, this one is in a national park and we clearly have part ownership.

Re on an O map: Why?

Actually, there is an O map. At least I believe it meets the standards for such a thing.

That link says that sequoias have shallow roots that can spread 150 feet, so with a more recent fall (the Fallen Monarch has been down for hundreds of years), I guess there's potential for an even staggeringly more impressive rootstock!
