Champion trees photo library

Tulip tree

Montgomery County's largest tree. This tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) is close to 100" in diameter at breast height and totals 424 points. Though the mighty base of the tree appears healthy, the champion's canopy is in poor condition. The size of this tree is an indication of its age and seniority. This tree is in the twilight of its many decades.
