Comments: The house in front of the the tree was built in 1902. I believe the tree is about 175 yrs old. The owners have a picture of the tree in the 1950's and it was large even then! The tree has been nicknamed "Nanny's tree" because our great grandma "Nanny" lived there her whole life. The tree is also large but not big enough for the registry: cir 175 " height 60 ' crown 73 ' points 253
Best time to photograph: Summer -Afternoon
