Comments:
2018 comments: Very healthy. It has been pruned by an arborist in the past to remove limbs over the house. These cuts are healing well, but the tree does weep below one set of limbs in the summertime. The crown extends over the house, but I think we were able to work around that in an accurate manner.
2007 comments: The tree is very healthy and vigerous. It provides acorns for the Virginia Department of Forestry. Measured in 2007 by Carmean and Williamson at 240", 95', 122', 366 points.
