2017 comments: Tree is part of a large group growing on a hillside. The specimen is distinctly old age with some dead wood present within bunch. Dead wood was cleared before new measurement was taken. Trunk girth was measured on largest of multiple stems within the bunch. Height and crown spread were taken of the entire bunch.
2008 comments: Measured in 2008 by Greg Zell. A large group of American hazel growing in the woodlands of a civil war era historic park. This specimen was damaged by deer rubbing in 2007, but has been pruned and fenced since then. The largest single stem in clump was measured for score.
