Tree
Owner's Manual The
U.S. Forest Service has created a Tree Owner’s
Manual. Just like the manual that comes with automobiles
and appliances,
this booklet includes a parts diagram, instructions
for installation, tips for troubleshooting, and more.
The
small black-and-white booklet can be distributed
at tree sales, Arbor Day ceremonies, and home shows,
as well as to existing
landscape and tree care clients. Any organization interested
in printing and distributing the manual can have it's
logo printed on the cover. If interested, send the mailing
address and logo in .jpg or .tif format to Jill Johnson
at jilljohnson@fs.fed.us. To
download a copy, visit www.treeownersmanual.info.

Breaking Stories
Trees with a Story
to Tell
Although its not the biggest tree on the block, the
American Hornbeam that resides at Crown Hill Cemetery
has staked its claim as the biggest of it's species
in Indiana. With a circumference of 153 inches (over
12 feet), a height of 33 feet and a crown spread of
58 feet it is recognized as the biggest Hornbeam in
Indiana. Also known as Musclewood trees for their obvious
appearance of muscle-y like limbs, this hornbeam redefines
big because while it is only 33 feet tall, it may have
taken this tree 100 years to grow to this size. For
the Crown Hill Tree tour, look for a map at the Waiting
Station.
