Comments:
2026 comments: Tree continues to thrive and is well cared for. The trunk measurement at 2' above ground is 184" due to the fused trunk below the union of three stems. Each stem was also measured individually at 4.5' above ground. Stem 1: 99", Stem 2: 95", Stem 3: 82". These stems compute to a composite circumference of 160".
2016 comments: A very healthy multi-trunk tree. Trunk measured at narrowest girth between ground line and fork in trunk. Measured by Robert Vickers in 2016 with 161" trunk, 84' height, 58' crown, and 260 points.
