Bruce: The thickest part of the stem is on top of the rock over ten feet above the ground and more than six feet inside the very heavy PI "limbs". I don't get poison ivy bad but tempting fate by becoming as intimate with the plant as I would have to obtain a core just wasn't on my agenda. However, I have seen vines with over 50 growth rings cut out of overstory trees during forest improvement work. Russ **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
