Measure circumference at 4.5 from ground. Measure height by whatever method you want. There are several ways to do it. Take the height and multiply it by the circumference then divide by four. That gives the volume of the tree trunk minus the branches which can add a lot. When an ash tree is fully grown and leafed out the leaves alone can weigh as much as a ton (depending on hydration level). The branches account for about 800 - 1,000 pounds. So a 30 foot tall ash at about 50 pounds per cubic foot of volume in the trunk with a circumference of 6 feet will weigh 6ft x 30 / 4 = 2250 pounds plus the branches. That is minimal depending on the hydration level of the tree.
