Nation's largest white pine saved in Wisconsin
A Wisconsin arborist saved a 160 foot Brule River White Pine on Cedar Island Estate from being cut last year. The 500 year old tree, with over 18 foot trunk girth, may be the nation's champion and perhaps the world's largest, after a limb danger led to a selective removal last month. The effort preserved the tree and a favorite eagle perch along the Brule River.
