Comments:
2024 comments: Tree continues to thrive. Field measured height with a clinometer as reported as 131'. A high-quality Lidar scan from 2017 indicates height of 118'. It is unlikely that the tree has grown that much in 7 years, but a growth allowance of 2' seems reasonable. So 120' height is recorded here.
2011 comments: The tree appears healthy and sound. Measured by Byron Carmean, Gary Williamson at 223", 138', 106', 388 points.
