MDC foresters use formula with combined measurements to determine largest overall size of trees in record books. Trees with most total points are champs.
PLEASANT HILL, Mo -- Philip Moore knows trees because he’s grown and grafted them for years, especially nut trees. Now he can claim a state champion white mulberry tree too.
The tree towers over a farm fence on Pleasant Hill’s southern boundary, off Cardinal Road. A tape measure stretched 23 feet around its girth at a height 4.5 feet above ground level, according to measurements taken by Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) Urban Forester Chuck Conner. The tree is 48 feet tall with an average crown width of 57 feet.
