I spent a couple or five hours perusing the lists, and came to the conclusion that it ain't a real high priority to the folks that are supposed to maintain it.  Fer instance, there ain't no National Champion Sweetgum, yet Alabama and Georgia both have champions in that category.  The same goes for Camphor Tree.  It seems to me that if somebody is responsible for maintaining the list, it would be a simple matter to look at all the state lists and pick the biggest one. ::) ???

By the way, I see that Florida has a big tree coordinator, and his phone # is listed.  I think I'll call him and see if there is actually a list online, somewhere.  Might be a simple matter to get the link posted on the National site.

Right, American Forests (americanforests.org) keeps up with the national list.  They're the ones who started the whole thing back in the 1940's.
