Comments: The tree is very well cared for. It looks great, especially considering the beating it must take during Nor'easters and hurricanes. It appears healthy in spite of its 200 plus years age. Several others of the same vintage grace the expansive grounds. Trunk was measured at smallest girth between ground line and point of divergence of primary stems (1 foot above ground).
