Comments: Tree was triple-stemmed when discovered in 2009 and was measured using basal tape wrap near ground line. Since then two of the three leaders have broken off near ground line. Therefore, 2020 measurement of trunk was at 4.5' above ground. The crown narrowed due to loss of two leaders. Previous measurement by Carmean and Williamson in 2009 was 60', 71", 35', 140 points. Trunk had been measured 1' above ground previously.
