MeasuredTennessee's Champion Tree Program was developed in the
mid seventies to identify the largest specimens of native trees
in east Tennessee.  Since then the program has expanded
statewide and includes 263 species that are native or common to
Tennessee.  A tree earns points based on its circumference,
height and crown spread.  The tree with the most points for its
species is declared a champion.  If trees are within five points
of each other they share the title of Co-Champions.  Our goal is
to update the list every two years.
