Dan,
Welcome to ENTS! That is a significant cherry for sure at 14'11" cbh. Provided it was tall enough it could dethrone one of the current NC state champions listed below: North Carolina's Champion Big Tree Database Common name County Points Height Circumference Crown spread black <http://www.dfr.state.nc.us/Urban/tree_detail.asp?Tree_ID=156> cherry Graham 281 122 148 43 black <http://www.dfr.state.nc.us/Urban/tree_detail.asp?Tree_ID=155> cherry Madison 285 96 175 55 This one I found last spring is a good bit larger at 182" X 122' X ~60' for ~319 points: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/fieldtrips/gsmnp/clontz/clontz.htm Josh Kelly and Jess Riddle know of similar sized trees.

I'm a big tree finder and old growth preservation activist, and I would like to get involved in project work and get to know some of you folks. I found a 179" black cherry in upper Little Santeetlah Creek drainage. I couldn't access the N.C. big tree database. Possible record?
