| Comments: Declared state champion when discovered in 2010. Declared national co-champion in 2019, sharing title with a tree in Connecticut. Current all-time largest documented specimen of the species in the state. The tree appears healthy and sound.
2020 Update: Canopy is half dead. Difficult to take good photos because of understory growth. See photos. Notified DCR staff about these trees and they are going to flag them and had no knowledge of them prior to our remeasurements. They are right in a utility easement. DCR is going to flag this area as a sensitive habitat moving forward. Measured in 2010 by Carmean, Williamson, and Kirwan at 38", 49' 28', 94 points. |
