2023 update: Declared dead by Jon Rockett (jonsrockett@aol.com) 7/1/2022. An adjacent tree died and was removed including stump grinding, likely disrupting this tree's root system. Was completely removed in January 2023.

2012 update: Tree is healthy. Largest stem was measured but every stem originating from the same stump was included in height and crown diameter. 2004 photo was retained as it was a better photo and nothing visible had changed.
