Tree champs

To settle any arguments you may have about where the largest trees of all species in Missouri are located, the Missouri Department of Conservation keeps a list. For instance, the largest Osage Orange tree is located in Columbia; the largest black walnut in Fayette and the largest white oak in Millersville. The record list includes the species of tree, owner, location and the dimensions of each tree. To obtain the list, contact Donna Homan in the Forestry Division, Missouri Department of Conservation, Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102, or call (573) 751-4115, Ext. 111.
