Girth height: No data

Date of visit: 9-Apr-98

Notes:

In a sorry state, the ground strewn with heavy boulders, the bole stripped of bark, yet with sufficient new growth to suggest that recovery is possible. A girth of 24′ (732cm) was recorded in Meredith’s gazetteer. In 2022 Brian Palmer recorded a girth of 7.23m (23′ 9”) at 1m. His photos show that alongside all of the dead branches there is still life in the tree.
