    There's some large examples of locally, even generally rare trees there. Continued preservation efforts are to be applauded. Dimensions of these are listed under the appropriate headings by A.L. Jacobson in his 1996 Ten Speed Press book North American Landscape Trees. For instance:

    Catalpa bignonoides 'Aurea'

    28' x 6'1" x 51' (1994)

    Liriodendron tulipifera 'Aureo-marginatum'

    80' x 9'6" x 65' (1992)

    Quercus rubra 'Aurea'

    66' x 4'1" (1994)

    Tilia tomentosa

    120' x 10'1" (1992)

    Ulmus 'Purpurea'

    106' x 7'5" x 41' (1992)
