How this register was selected and mapped

Texas A&M Forest Service’s live Big Tree Registry, retrieved October 9, 2026. The 661-record registry lists 229 state champions and 54 national champions; 51 trees appear in both categories. We include their union of 232 unique Tree IDs, including state and national co-champions. The other 429 registry records are not imported. Titles are source designations, not independently verified current national titles.

All 232 records map to 79 approximate 2025 Census county points. Ownership labels identify 152 private records, 72 public records, and eight unclassified records. Public ownership is not a guarantee of visiting access. Private owner names and all exact tree coordinates are omitted. Consult the official registry and landowner before visiting.

Circumference is in inches; height and spread are in feet. Tree Index values remain as published without recalculation. Measurement, nomination and certification dates retain the source’s month/year precision. Certification and historical condition labels do not confirm current tree condition.
