TY - JOUR T1 - Big Trees: Something to Look for JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 44 LP - 48 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1980.011 VL - 6 IS - 2 AU - Dorothy McKee Behlen Y1 - 1980/02/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/6/2/44.abstract N2 - Each of the nearly 700 National Champion trees listed in the American Forestry Association’s National Register of Big Trees has a story behind it. One champ in Virginia was loved to death by its misinformed owners. The largest overcup oak was saved by its champion status, and with the help of AFA. The champion Ohio buckeye is in Kentucky while the champion Kentucky coffeetree is in Ohio. More trees, and more stories, are needed; just 400 to go before we complete this list. ER -
