Comments: Tree has a good amount of decay in lower trunk which has left a large cavity on one side of the tree. Part of the main leader appears to be failing .It has lost several main branches in the past. The remaining stems are still producing a good amount of foliage in the upper crown, so this tree probably has some years left. Trunk circumference measured at 1 foot above ground at smallest circumference.
