The register behind the map

Dates, sources & coverage.

UT current list · retrieved October 7, 2026 · edition not stated

Tree program ↗Published register ↗

183 records are included in this imported selection. 182 have approximate map points; 1 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

The University of Tennessee’s Current Champion Trees list is maintained by its School of Natural Resources with the Tennessee Division of Forestry. This October 7, 2026 snapshot retains all 183 entries across 164 published scientific names, including repeated species. It does not derive additional champion or national titles from scores. The page supplies no measurement dates or edition date.

182 records use 38 approximate Census county points. One record lists “Lafayette” as a county; that source value is retained and left unmapped. Public access and exact tree locations are not supplied. County markers do not provide directions to a tree.
