Comments:
2022 update: A visit to the property by Lisa Deaton in January 2022 revealed the tree had been removed. A tornado hopped through this neighborhood in the last year or two and heavily damaged the tree, leading to its removal. Former state champion.
2018 update: Tree lost a substantial branch a few years back but doesn't show signs of decline. Several blackjacks growing in this area. Height was measured by climbing and tape drop.
