There are others planted around that look normal. This one must have been on steroids.

She needed to practice on a 1868 Viennese Streicher piano in preparation for a Brahms and Schumann concert in Ashburnham on Sept 27th. She specializes on early pianos. While Monica practiced, I explored the area for trees. I must report that most trees in Ashburnham, at least all that I saw, are undistinguished. Shortly before we left, I found the Norway spruce shown in the three attachments. It is unusual tree to say the least. It measures 80.5 feet in height. Nothing exceptional there. However, its girth is 13.6 feet, which makes it the largest Norway I've measured. However, these dimensions are eclipsed by the visual impact of this very interesting tree as can be seen in the photos.
