Thawing out up there, I see. That yellowwood (at 2" caliper, 5 cm) will be 6-8 years old nursery grown from a seedling. I could cut it down and count the rings, I suppose.

You're probably tired of those lousy old spruces you have infesting the place. A yellowwood would be a stellar stand-in. I bet you won't find any bigger than about, say, 50' in Chicagoland. Maybe some good examples at the Morton.

I'll get some pictures of the new installation for a baseline. Meanwhile, some tired pics of existing trees at Boone Square Park in Louisville will have to tide you over.
