Barry, This is out Max list. The third column represents what value - girth, height, or crown spread that this tree represents the maximum value of. If it is real close two may be listed for the same max value. In the first two for example, the first represents the maximum girth for a forest grown specimen. The second the maximum girth for an open grown specimen. The next three are all height values, but are so close they are in effect almost co-champions. The last vale is for the largest crown spread. We do not have maximums for each value for each species.

The third column seems to be some sort of mistake, like it doesn't belong there. It doesn't make a bit of sense. Can you explain the third column? The other 10 columns are obvious, and make sense. It's just that third one.

Are they included on any current ENTS lists?

I'd like to find out about any tall or large forest-grown Cornus florida that may exist. I'm wondering how tall the species can get under the right conditions.

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. ~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.
