Plains Cottonwood
About this verified tree
This is a massive Plains Cottonwood growing in William Pearce Park in Lethbridge. This tree shows the huge canopy spread that cottonwoods can achieve if given large amounts of canopy growth room. This tree was likely damaged at a young age, resulting in its multi trunk form. Overall the tree is in amazing condition, but the base of the tree is damaged significantly. This could shorten the tree's lifespan. Historically, this tree had another trunk, and was larger before it was felled.
