The psychology is good with a good amount of foliage throughout the tree. The tree shows historical phototropic growth with leaning towards the property on the west and south with all branch growth in this direction. This would indicate growing with completion with large trees to the north. Evidence of street trees which has been removed and a newly planted Lime in its place and an existing street tree, Oak Quercus which has been lopped and topped at 8 meters.
