Eli,
That is a good looking dogwood! Thanks for the post. I knew of one in Knoxville, Tennessee that exceeded the power lines in height, but not quite the apparent diameter of this tree in Atlanta. Often times, one finds "knarly" growth form and/or some past pest scarring on older dogwoods, this one seems to have a great form to it. It may be worth propagating from this tree. From the pic, it appears to be in great shape. How does the spring flowering look?

The first limb alone is thicker than most other dogwood trunks. It grows next to a church parking lot in midtown Atlanta- fully open grown. Dimensions: CBH: 6.2' Height: 30' Spread: 40' The height and spread are measurements from Trees Atlanta and likely will be updated as part of my endeavor to update the Atlanta Champion Tree List. I have serious doubts that this tree is 30' tall, but it's still quite impressive. 62CBHCoFl.jpg Grace Methodist Dogwood1 picture by eliahd24<http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/eliahd24/tree%20explorat ions/62CBHCoFl.jpg?t=1246884095> GraceMethodistCoFl.jpg Grace Methodist Dogwood2 picture by eliahd24<http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/eliahd24/tree%20explorat ions/GraceMethodistCoFl.jpg?t=1246884157> HUGECoFllimb.jpg Grace Methodist Dogwood limb picture by eliahd24<http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h186/eliahd24/tree%20explorat ions/HUGECoFllimb.jpg?t=1246884229> ~Eli --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Edward Frank <[email protected]> wrote: From: Edward Frank <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Re: Large Urban Trees in Atlanta To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, July 4, 2009, 10:24 PM Eli, When you visit the dogwood (Cornus florida ?) I would be interested in seeing the measurements and photos of the tree. I have not seen one that big.
