Out of curiosity, I just looked it up. It's an *American***** holly - and it may possibly be a record-breaker. I had no idea :-) Here's the National Register Record holder: https://www.americanforests.org/big-trees/american-holly-ilex-opaca/ Mine is a single trunk - so nowhere near the circumference of this one, and it's spread is nearer 30' vs. this one's 60'. But mine is taller with denser foliage. Everyone who sees it says they've never seen a holly so huge. A family of doves has lived in it for at least the past 25 years. About ten years ago, I was mowing the lawn the day after a particularly bad thunderstorm. All of a sudden, two doves dive-bombed my mower. I stopped. Not more than four feet in front of me were three live baby doves without their feathers and, sadly, a fourth one that was deceased. Then I noticed the pieces of torn-up nest. I put an old robin's nest inside a small perforated basket (like an organizer,) climbed up the tree as near as I could get to where the old nest was, and anchored the basket with zip ties to the limb. About an hour later, the parent doves were already on it. I was so happy. A couple months later, I climbed up to remove the basket - Much to my surprise, the doves had added to the robin's nest and there were three new eggs in it. I'm still amazed at the bravery of the parent doves saving their babies from the mower. I would never have forgiven myself if I mowed over them - OMW, I can't stand to think about it. A cardinal family has also lived there for as long as I can remember. It really is a stately, strong and vibrant tree - the AMERICAN holly.
