I question the statement that this tree is 10-30 years old. Dirr puts this tree's growth at 12-18" per year after establishment. I doubt it takes 5 years to establish (as this tree is planted for lumber), but given that and mid-range growth we have 75" of growth by the time its 10 years old.

Am I way off on the ponderosa growth rate?
