So like 75-80 ft? Nice tree. Is that at a park? or just along the road?

24" is not considered a tremendous amount of rain but not bad if you get it at the right times of the year.

Thanks for posting! :-)

10 mins away.. and twice the rain.. ??????

now that is a micro climate .. worth noting ...

Spelling is Engelmann of course. One in original post doesn't look tall but trunk is pretty thick looking.

It's in an area called Happy Jack. It's about 1,400 ft higher in elevation. than my town. Yeah, I was thinking about 80 ft tall and about 10 ft in circ.

Thanks, very impressive. A pic with the sun shining on the tree instead of behind it would be better.... :)

The effectiveness of precip is very much tied to temperature (which affects evaporation). 24" in a cold climate, especially cool summers, is plenty for many trees.
