Comments:
2022 update: Declared dead 7/13/22 by Eric Wiseman and Moriah Moss. The top of the tree blew out at approximately 40' above ground. Tree also lost a major co-dominant leader at 3' above ground. Tree is still alive but unlikely to recover, as center is rotted out (and being utilized by a groundhog pictured below).
2011 update: Bracket fungi are present on trunk, but looks OK for an old tree. This was the largest specimen ever measured by the program at that time.

Top. G. Williamson. December 2011. Bottom 3. Moriah Moss 7/13/22
