Big Tree Lists
Q: Who keeps a list of big trees in Georgia? My dogwood tree is 35-40 feet tall. It has a 38-foot canopy spread and the trunk is approximately 40 inches in circumference. It’s the biggest dogwood I have ever seen and anyone who sees it says the same thing.
A: There are champion tree lists kept for Atlanta and for Georgia. I checked both and was surprised to find that four of the biggest flowering dogwoods in the state are within ten miles of my home in north Decatur. They are scored using the traits you listed: height, crown spread, and trunk diameter. I’ll let you figure out your tree’s score and follow the nomination process. I have all the details at bit.ly/GAchamptree.
