Comments:
2024 comments: This tree has a lean but appears healthy. Because of the significant lean, the trunk was measured at 6 inches below division of leaders. At 4.5 feet there is a bulge, which would inflate measurement. Multi-stem form is common in this species, and the 6” measurement accommodates for where the trunk is straight.
