Champion Tree

Champion Tree is a designation afforded to selected trees that are special or superlative because of their size or significance. A number of countries including the UK, New Zealand,[1] US, South Africa[2] and Canada support such designation schemes based on standardised criteria. A database of such designated trees in the UK is maintained at the Tree Register.[3]

The designations in the US are recorded in the National Register of Champion Trees.
