Montello Cottonwood
| A large cottonwood, named Wisconsin's largest tree in the 1970's, standing on Underwood Avenue in front of a two-story granite faced house. There is a cell phone tower in the background. Several large limbs of the tree have been broken, leaving an irregular crown. Most of the damage to the tree was caused by strong winds when a tornado passed through Montello on June 23, 2004. |
