The location from
the road side is deceiving -
the burl tree grows in the side of a drainage ditch 6 feet below.
The burl tree is approximately 44.6" DBH from road side.
Height from Ground level to bottom of the fork is about 11 feet.

Drainage ditch runs behind tree and under Ace Hardware storage lot

feet to ditch.
