Comments:
2025 comments: Storm damage has broken the smallest stem at 5 feet above ground level and broken the left/west stem, leaving behind a secondary fork that sprawls out toward the west. The main stem has minor storm damage, but is healthy otherwise. These stems share a common root collar but not a common fused stem base. The trunk circumference was measured on the largest main stem in the same manner as the 2015 measurement.
2015 comments: The tree appears healthy and sound. It consists of three stems in a clump, the larger stem was measured for circumference. The measurements taken by Byron Carmean, Gary Williamson, and Jeff Kirwan were 15" trunk, 37' height, and 25' crown for a total of 58 points.
