The Department of Environmental Conservation likes to highlight and show the importance of tree record size. The promote the importance of tree with peoples everyday lives. The big tree register is based on a list of many trees arranged by name and scientific name order. This list doesn't include hybrid species, only american species. In order to be a champion, the tree needs to have been measured or confirmed to exist within the last 10 years.
The way they find a winner is the sum of the tree's height in feet, the trunk circumference in inches at 4 1/2 feet off the ground, and one quarter of the tree's average crown spread in feet.
If you ever want to nominate a tree after you measurements you should contact you Regional DEC Office and after they confirm the measurements you then also need to contact local DEC office filling out New York State Big Tree Nomination Form after you also find out its the biggest on NY state.
