Comments:
2025 comments: Tree has been topped, which has killed a couple of stems and significantly reduced the overall height. It is open grown, very symmetrical, and is sometimes used as a backdrop for weddings. Trunk circumference measurement was measured at 2 feet, below the forked stem, to avoid the excessive trunk flair.
