| Remarks: |
Tree is in good health with all major branches alive and high in forest canopy. At one point in distant past the current trunk was composed of several stems. However, they have long since fused into one trunk. The narrowest point of the trunk is above the lowest original split and occurs very close to 4.5 feet above the ground. If circumference were to be measured below the lowest original split, it would be several inches wider. |
