| Comments: Declared national champion in 2012 and recognized in 2019 as national co-champion, sharing title with trees in Florida and North Carolina. This tree was misidentified as Q. laurifolia until 2011, when acorn samples were sent to National Arboretum.
2018 update: The tree appears very healthy and has put on some girth plus height. It appears to have no rot at all. While taking circumference a large branch was not included because it was not part of the main trunk. Trunk circumference measured at 2.5 feet above ground to avoid low limbs. |
