Hooker Oak (Q. lobata) in Bidwell Park. Chico, Ca. Showing one of the props on the big arm. Supposedly the State Champ (spread) before falling in 1977. Postcard says 56 ft. but that's not correct. There's a few more around just as big and taller.
Major spars are subject to sunburn now, and more direct wind load and future breakage. Old tree. It's all downhill from here on. Not worth spending any money on to save. That's how I see it.
