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.
