Comments: In 2006 the tree was 81 points, and recently damaged by a hurricane (the top of the tree was broken off). In 2012 the tree was further reduced to 71 points, losing mostly height. Could beat the westmoreland county tree which is currently first, since it is multi stemmed and may have been measured incorrectly under new guidelines. Was measured at 3 and a half feet for trunk circumference due to a split in the stem.
