Status: alive Last Measured: 2017
National Champion: yes Last Measured by: Byron Carmean and Gary Williamson
Comments: Declared national champion in 2009, but dethroned in 2019 due to multi-stem growth habit. Returned to national champ status in 2020 after reconsideration. Tree is very healthy and vigorous. It was at the end of its blooming season when measured.

2017 update: Tree is kind of scraggly, but it is hanging on.
