Comments:
2024 comments: This tree is estimated to be 248 years old using the ISA non-destructive method of calculating the estimated age of a tree using the diameter X growth rate. It has internal voids but is otherwise healthy. It is cared for by the Colonial Williamsburg Arborist, Charles Gardener and his staff. Recently had dead limbs pruned and cables added to the canopy to stabilize the remaining limbs.
This tree was thought to be an Acer rubrum and was largely ignored in plain sight until Byron Carmean and Charles Gardener examined it more closely during a review of trees in the Historic Area and identified it as a Trilobum variant of the species.
