Comments:
2019 Update: The tree lost a large stem during a storm event, which brought down its height and crown measurements. The circumference was taken at 6 inches above ground to adjust for multiple stems which all shared a common base. The tree is located near the entrance to Steinhilber's restaurant, which used to be the clubhouse for a country club. There is evidence that theses trees were planted in the time frame of 1910-1920 when the country club had first opened.
