Comments: This tree was declared a national champion in 2018. One of the leaders of this tree came down during a storm event between 2009 and 2019. This has greatly diminished its trunk circumference and crown spread. The trunk had been previously measured at ground line below the trunk fork. The recent circumference measurement was made on the single remaining trunk at 4.5' above ground. Former national champion. Prior score was 250 points.
