Originally a double stemmed tree, this native grows in a forested area. Construction of townhouses nearby added 3 -6 feet of fill on top of tree base. Located on park boundary with Wingate community, it can be observed from paved park trail in Barcroft Park. The County isn't positive of its ownership, if survey work shows it not to be the County's then the county will refer it to the Notable Trees program.
