Long Description: This awesome tree was the National Champion until a slightly larger specimen was found in Tennessee a couple of years ago. Tree is on private property (farm) and can not be accessed without contacting the owners first. They are very proud of their tree though and welcome visitors. Owners are approx. 4 miles north of Weatherford, TX on Hwy. 51. You need to call the owner to set up a visit. Mr. Bill Finch at 817.467.0102
