Good question, I just went out and used a tape measure and went around it. I got 8" around. It does not even look that big.

American Nursery rule of thumb uses a caliper to measure trunk diameter.

Measure 6" above the ground for trees up to 4" in diameter.

Measure 12" above ground for larger trees.

The formula for figuring the cirumference is pi (sorry, my character map does not show me how to display the symbol,) but it is, roughly, 3.1416) X 2 r (radius) = cicumference.
So if you got a circumference of 8 (by wrqpping the tape around the stem) and divide it by pi, you would get a diameter (radius X 2) of a little over 2½ inches, which is the caliper of the tree.
