2000 – Tim Hills: A solid looking tree at first glance, but there is more to this tree than meets the eye. One of the limbs or stems seen in the plan from 2000 has rotted and its remaining shell in 2011 is full of needle drop. There is also evidence of an internal stem.

2015 – Tim Hills: Girth recorded as follows: 18′ 4” (559cm) at 3′; 19′ 11” (607cm) at 5′.
