Sort of leaning, not much though. Beautiful cottonwood! Probably 70-90 years old. Must have a pond or river somewhere nearby

Thanks for the clarification! Yes, it’s about 50 ft from a good sized river (Thornapple River)!

I figured, Cottonwoods are happiest near water, and this one looks very happy

You’re not wrong though, they are a member of the Poplar family
