Measuring Trees

To ensure we can accurately compare trees and to identify champion trees the following guidelines are provided to assist you in the collection of reliable data.

Before nominating a tree, you need to know 3 measurements:
(1) Trunk Girth or Circumference (measured in centimetres)
(2) Vertical Tree Height (measured to the nearest 100mm)
(3) Average Crown Spread (measured to the nearest 100mm)

See the additional notes on the menu above for further information.
 

Recording Additional Tree Information

In addition to recording the current dimensions of the tree it is helpful to collect various other details regarding the tree.  Collecting as much information as is possible will enable us to retain a full record of the tree.  The online registration form will provide several drop down lists of general information required.  Other fields require the recorder to enter various other field observations.  Some fields are required whilst others are optional.  Please obtain landowner consent and record their details before listing a privately owned tree.  Public trees do not require consent.

See the Recording Additional Tree information page on the menu above for further information or review the registration form on the Getting Started page.
