Cottonwood

Tree Description:

0-001   A giant native cottonwood (Populus deltoides) nearly 100′ tall and more than 23′ in circumference can be seen here, with interesting burl formations – it is thought to be the largest tree in Springfield and is being protected with structural cabling to help it withstand unusually severe storms.
