Comments: This tree has traded national champion status back and forth with one in Chesapeake. Recognized in 2018 as three-way national co-champion with trees in Chesapeake, VA and Mathews, VA. Located within walking distance to the historic Eastville Courthouse, which is home of the oldest continuous court records in the nation.

Tree lost a large leader in March 2019, which may jeopardize its health. https://shoredailynews.com/headlines/eastville-champion-tree-loses-large-limb
