WOWII Conjecture 142:
For a simple connected graph $G$, $\mathrm{tree}(G) \ge (2/3) \cdot \mathrm{girth}(G) + \mathrm{ecc}(B)$ where $\mathrm{tree}(G)$ is the largest induced tree size, $\mathrm{girth}(G)$ is the length of the shortest cycle ($0$ if acyclic), $B$ is the set of boundary vertices (those of maximum eccentricity), and $\mathrm{ecc}(B)$ is the eccentricity of the set $B$.
