| Comments: This tree was declared a national champ in 2008, but was later dethroned due to irregular trunk form. In 2016, it was noted that the tree had been struck by lightning, but still appeared healthy. It has a notable lean. Trunk circumference measured at 3' above ground due to forked trunk. Tree is multi-stemmed but believed to be one tree, based on surrounding growth forms. Largest specimen of species ever documented in Virginia as of 2020. | |
