Comments: Sept. 2017: This tree was healthy in the beginning of 2017.However a large branch fell off due to rot 6-8 months after it was measured in the beginning of 2017.The large branch that fell off affected the shape of the crown and the crown spread decreased a little. It also resulted in a decrease of height. The circumference was unaffected however. Maymont is doing everything they can to help it pull through. Circumference was measured below splitting of branches at a foot and a half.
