Nope just checked, it should be on there though. It was bigger than the 3 listed before I topped it

Must remember to stop and get a photo of it next time I pass. It’s 7 years on now. Time flies!

Alas, this immense tree has been dramatically pollarded by nature, right where I once sat.

If you look carefully you can see where it was weakened by the wounds from your spikes.

That is/was a big tree. 
I remember this thread. 
Good job done especially as you didn’t wear spurs. 
 

Pops (even black pops though to a lesser extent) are on borrowed time once  they achieve maturity.
