		When full grown the "Big Trees" are proportionate and symmetrical in girth and height and the beauty of the tree is enhanced by flutings that traverse the bark from the base to the apex.

		Trees should be reported to the DEC after the owner or nominator has measured the tree to determine that it exceeds the size of the current State Champion for that species.

	Big trees put down roots in Kentucky
		Although cemeteries and parks are favored habitat for big trees, champions may be found almost anywhere -- from yards to barn lots and farm fencerows.
		Once a tree is identified, foresters suggest you take a measurement of its circumference 4 1/2 feet above the ground, then estimate its crown spread -- measuring from the outer tip of its limbs on one side to the outer tips on the other -- and try to estimate its height.
		Usually, if a tree measures less in circumference than the reigning champion big tree, you can stop measuring and save yourself the trouble of nominating the tree for championship consideration.
