| General Notes: |
This Scots pine was brought from southern Ontario and planted in 1882 by Captain John and Agnes Rigbey soon after they settled on their homestead in the Killarney area (NE30-3-17W). The leader was broken off when the tree was very young and the two main stems developed, giving the tree and abnormal shape. In spite of persistent attacks by sapsuckers and exposure to hail storms, droughts and other natural elements, the tree has grown into a healthy and attractive specimen. It is one of the oldest ornamental trees in the Killarney district. This farm is presently occupies by Gerald and Helen Rigbey, the third generation of the family.
