| Notes: |
January 1999 - A unique growth pattern, with a circle of individual trunks, none of great size, rising from a 3' shell. In the central space is a mound of roots. The trunk in the left foreground of photos 1 and 2 is a self seeded male. This will eventually be 'swallowed up' by the expansion of the female tree and it will appear as a tree exhibiting both sexes. The 3rd photo shows where the girth was measured in 2012, excluding the male tree. In the remaining photos is some of the detail on the inside of the tree. |
