Uncle John's Cottonwood - Horace ND - Exceptional Trees on Waymarking.com

When The Corps of Engineers were building the Sheyenne River Flood Control Project (completed in 1992), they designed the project around the tree so they would not disturb it. At that time, it was reported to be: "The 90-foot high tree is the second largest in North Dakota with a circumference of over 25 feet. The average crown for the tree is 79 feet." (visit link)
