The height of the building is 16m to the top of the A frame. The picture was from google earth.

So that makes tree about 48m.

How did you get height of building? 16m is pretty high!

Hello and welcome.

 

The above statement would make those doors 5m tall...

Really Mysty?

We on here climb almost every day of our working lives and are pretty clued up but to say that building is 16m is just...well... 16ft more like!

That would make the interior more like a large church than a rural hovel.

If you did have a 50m lime as you have been told by your local tree fella then it would be a remarkable tree for arborists and of great interest.

A total crying shame to reduce or fell it.

If you take it the average door height is around 6 and a half feet, I'd guess the tree to be between 80 and 85 feet. 24-25 metres max.

Its a Cantal style roof which are very high and steep but you have never seen one let alone been to the Cantal.

[Steve Bullman]

Is that a telegraph pole just to the right of the Lime?

Er, no need to get 'odd' about this.

Your posting on a forum for professional arborists who generally know their onions so if you do have a 50m lime rather than the half size one we suspect then you are a lucky man and we are a pack of dullards:laugh1:

As an aside, I spent a wild week (oh happy days...) in the Cantal during the Semain Federal de Cyclotourism near Aurillac so am quite familiar with the architecture of the place. It is from memory and a quick google not a region of extra-ordinarily roofs at all.

I suspect so but it is a long way back also.

It's all about perspective...

Avg. UK doors are 6' 6" and you add around 6" of architrave. I don't know what French doors measure at but if you take the door as being 2m and scale it against the tree, then the tree comes out at 27m to 27.5m.
