Comments:
2024 update: Recognized as national champion for first time.
Former national champ dethroned in 2017. The tree appears to be in very good shape. Within past several years, several large lower limbs have broken off, but these do not appear to have been detrimental to the tree. The site where the tree is situated is protected because of the adjacent creek. No development is planned that will affect the tree. Last measured in 2006 by Jeff Kirwan at 191", 135', 68', 343 points.
