Champion Trees? What do they have for breakfast? Weedies?
« on: June 02, 2018, 06:37:59 PM »

Poking around on something else, I discovered the phrase "Champion Trees."

Kind of interesting.  They're the known biggest trees of a species and careful records are kept of them.

And there are Champion Tree hunters, where if you find a ginormous tree, you can take its measurements (certain specs and methods apply) and submit it for review.

You might even be able to dethrone the previous Champion!
