About this verified tree
I love this tree. When I first saw it (on google maps) it was in an empty lot. I thought "There's no way that this tree is still alive. It probably got cut down for construction." When visited it in person I was shocked. The tree was not only saved but the entire deck was built around it! I think more developers need to build like this! ~Josh Kirsch
