Barry, One thing you could do until you get a laser and clinometer is to try to develop Rucker Girth Indexes for various sites. It is an idea that we have played with but never pursued that hard. It works just like a height index only with girth instead. I have always been curious what kind of values we would find, especially when compared to height indexes on some sites. The fattest trees are not always the tallest.
