Published register Tree program

37 records are included in this imported selection. 37 have approximate map points; 0 remain searchable without a marker. Multiple trees can share one town or county point.

Register editions, retrieval dates, and individual measurement dates describe different things. This snapshot does not confirm current tree condition. Approximate map points do not locate individual trees or establish permission to visit.

How this register was selected and mapped

37 entries explicitly marked STATE CHAMPION in New Mexico Forestry Division’s 2020 database are included. Its other 107 entries are excluded: older or undesignated records and past national champions are not promoted by their size. Published botanical spellings, measurements and points are preserved. This dated snapshot does not confirm current tree condition or champion status.

Six NATIONAL CHAMPION labels, two NOMINEE labels and one NATIONAL CHAMPION - DECERT label are retained as published in 2020. Nominees and decertified labels are not verified current national titles. Date Submitted is shown separately from measurement dates; only one selected entry explicitly reports a remeasurement date.

All 37 entries use 16 approximate Census county points. Private-property labels are retained; other locations do not establish visiting permission. Names, addresses and exact tree coordinates are omitted. Dona Ana is matched to Census Doña Ana. Two entries have source notes about landowner consent to formal nomination, and the Tree-of-Heaven record flags a conflict between its Catron county field and a Socorro location note. Circumference is in inches; height and crown spread are in feet.
