New Champion List

[treelooker]

The new US Champion Tree list just came out, and the mag has a good piece on climbers' roles as big tree measurers. If you want a copy of the mag pm me your US address and I'll mail one.

Guy, I want one!

I think I found a state champ Callistemon viminalis weeping bottlebrush the other day. I'm knocking on the door soon to see if they'll let me measure it.

Unfortunately that tree is not on the national big tree registry...

Guy, thanks for posting that! My little county has 33 Champions!

On the last page they list the trees that have not achieved Champion status. They are looking for a Coconut Palm We are going to scour our County and look for one! There are a few others listed that are in our area as well.

Champions are cool trees, is it easy to nominate one?
