Story

It has suffered several stem failures over the years that have resulted in an extensive cavity at the base of the root collar. It appears that the original trunk developed numerous root suckers many years ago that developed into the sprawling leaders present today. Trunk circumference measured 4" above ground due to fork in the trunk.
