Identified as the Trilobum variety. Declared national co-champion in 2017 with another specimen in Isle of Wight County. Tree was dethroned as national co-champ due to inadequate photo documentation. The tree appears healthy and sound. It has two trunks above three feet and one trunk was storm damaged about 35 feet above ground level. It should be in a safe place.
