Comments:
2025 comments: Tree is under the care of Bartlett Tree Experts. It has a large, full crown that extends down to within 8' of the ground. Tree has codominant stems. The stems appear to fork at about 48" above ground level based on visible bark inclusion and ribbed response growth along margins of the bark inclusion. Because this is a non-typical growth habit for the species, the trunk measurement was obtained by measuring each stem individually above the bark inclusion where the stems physically diverge (about 6.5' above ground). The measurement of each stem girth at this height was 73" and 76", which then calculated to a composite trunk measurement of 105". The measurement of the fused trunk at its narrowest girth between breast height and ground line was 108" at a height of 36" above the ground.
