One of the tallest trees in NY, an Adirondack white pine, has fallen | NCPR News
The white pine was known as Tree 103 and stood among 30-40 other large pines, all between 110-160 ft. tall on about 8 acres of land.
Dr. Justin Waskiewicz, a forest ecologist at Paul Smith's College, says a former professor at the college inspected the grove and dated the trees to 1665, making them more than 350 years old.
Waskiewicz says the oldest known age of a white pine is about 400 years, so the grove is nearing the end of its life. In 2013, the tree with the largest diameter in the grove fell. In 2019, Waskiewicz says "two more giants fell."

I'm just disappointed that iota didn't turn out to be a strain of concern. Then people could have said, I don't give one iota.
