Notes:

A. Female. 12′ (366cm) at 3′. Lopped off at around 5′, the main trunk is dead and hollowing, but a mass of new, healthy growth is sprouting from ground level to the west. With a girth of under 4m the tree has previously been classified as notable. Because it displays veteran characteristics it is now classified as V-con (veteran on account of its condition).
B. Female. 10′ at base. Mature, large tree, branching from 2.5′ into three trunks.
C. Male. 9′ 4″ at base. Mature, but messier tree, branching from 2.5′.
D. Female. Twiggy and impossible measure, but of similar size to B & C.
