Comments:
2019 comments: Tree has two large co-dominant leaders that diverge below chest height. One leader has a large cavity and is in declining health. The tree has an asymmetrical crown due to the co-dominant leaders. Crown is very wide along the axis of the leaders (83'), but very narrow perpendicular to the leaders (35'). Individual stem circumferences were measured at 4.5 above ground (68" and 61"). The composite circumference of the two was calculated as 91". Measurement of the single parent trunk at 2.5' above ground was 108".
