Comments:
2021 update: Scottsville suffered a rain & wind storm on Jul 30, 2021 around 11:15pm, which knocked down trees and broke power lines. The elm is still standing. However, the crown has suffered a considerable amount of damage. Average crown width has been reduced and the tree does not appear to be as tall.
2019 update: Tree appears in good health and has been attended to by a certified arborist. Adjustments to the tree have improved form, which has resulted in a decrease in crown and height since last measured.
