Comments: Tree is growing in small public park in the Olde Town section of the City. It appears to be healthy, but English Ivy vines are growing on trunk. No apparent threats to the specimen. Note: Two measurements were taken due to nature of multiple-trunk specimen. The largest measurement included all trunks and was measured at 1' above ground. This measurement included the crown spread of all trunks. Measurement #2 counted only the largest group of stems and was measured at 3.5' above the ground. The crown spread was restricted to the branches attached to the largest group of major stems.
