Comments:
2024 comments: Tree seems healthy and sound. It is the larger of the two European beeches at this location. Trunk measured at 2.5' above ground level to avoid root and branch flair. Field measurement of height reported as 84'. A very clean scan from Lidar estimates height at 75'. Two measurements were averaged.
