Comments:
2024 comments: Completely surrounded by other big trees, but very tall and healthy. One of several bigleaf magnolia trees in this natural area. This is a deceptively tall tree. With the hypsometer, the tallest leader is difficult to aim down as it has only a few leaves visible from the street.
