Comments:
2025 comments: There were two large primary stems. One is completely dead and the other is mostly dead except for a single sprout. The growth habit is a mess of suckering stems off of a common root mass, making it difficult to tell what to measure. It no longer qualifies as a suitable specimen. The older stems likely declined with old age.
2015 comments: The tree appears healthy and sound. There is a crack and some decay on the largest stem but growth on this stem appears normal.
