Comments:
2025 comments: The tree appears to still be in good health. There was a significant reduction in height in the past 10 years, but it was matched by an increase in crown spread.
2017 comments: The tree appears to be healthy and well cared for. It is growing in a safe environment. This tree was noted by MacMillan in his 1960 inventory of trees at the Arlington National Cemetery. It has grown very little over the past 57 years.
