Description
This
3.5
"
x
5.5
"
(8.89
x
13.97
cm)
postcard
shows
one
of the
largest
elm
trees
on
record
in
Ohio
.
Although
the
postcard
says
"
Twin
Oaks
"
it
is
actually
an
elm
tree
. This
tree
stood
in
Ottawa
,
Ohio
at the
intersection
locally
known
as "
Five
Points
"
where
state
routes
109
and
65
met
three
other
streets
. The
elm
tree
was
entered
in the
Big
Tree
Hunt
sponsored
by the
Ohio
Forestry
Association
in
1955
. The
tree
measured
31'3
"
(9.5
m)
in
circumference
,
87'5
"
(26.65
m)
in
height
, with a
limb
spread
of
104'8
"
(31.9
m)
. The
tree
succumbed
to
Dutch
Elm
disease
when
it
was
about
130
years
old
, a
few
years
prior
to the
erection
of the
Ottawa
Glandorf
High
School
in
1964
. The
school
lore
explained
that the
tree
grew
there
because
the
two
schools
,
Ottawa
and
Glandorf
,
combined
. The
two
trunks
represented
the
two
schools
joining
together
to
create
one
large
school
.
