Century-old UW tree may survive

There might be some life left in the larch after all.

The famous Goff larch tree in the Allen Centennial Gardens on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus will most likely be partially salvaged, Dennis Stimart, chairman of the UW Horticulture Department, said Friday.

The century-old tree came down during the snowstorm Wednesday when its V-shaped trunk was split by the weight of the heavy, wet snow.
