If you see a bare tree (in contrast to its green neighbors) in Midpen preserves this summer and fall, it’s likely a California buckeye (Aesculus californica). From late summer through February, these slow-growing, drought-adapted hardwoods drop their leaves and go dormant.

Diameter at breast height (DBH) is a standard tree measurement method. "Breast height" typically means 4.5 feet off the ground, which is higher than BH for people historically. A recent paper suggests that number may in fact derive from Pinchot's own BH! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
