Comments:
2025 comments: Tree has suffered immensely from drought in the past couple years, so the owner does not expect it to last much longer. There was significant dieback throughout the crown of the tree. The trunk circumference was measured at 4" above the ground, at the narrowest point below the separation of the two main stems.
2015 comments: The tree is safe and well cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Measured by Byron Carmean, Charles Wilson, and Gary Williamson. Previous measurements: 18", 15', & 28' for a score of 40 points.
