According to my 2008 edition of the Maine Forest Service's Forest Trees of Maine, Westbrook possesses the largest shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) in the state. With a circumference of 133", a height of 72', and a crown spread of 58', the Paper City's shagbark hickory is actually tied with a similar tree in Falmouth.
Anyway, a complimentary breakfast at Guidi's Diner to the person who knows where the aforementioned shagbark hickory (typing it is almost as fun as saying it) is located.
