The Landis Arboretum 2023 BIG Tree Search is now open - 18 July 2023

For this BIG tree search Landis is looking for:

1. NYS's BIGGEST tree. We are looking for the biggest overall single stem tree in New York State regardless of species.

2. NYS's Champion trees. A New York State champion is the biggest single stem tree of its kind in NYS. To see a full list of the current NYS champions click here. These are the only tree species that we will be accepting for the species champion category. Remember, a champion apple tree will not be as big as a champion white oak will, but all are eligible as possible species champions! All winners will receive a CASH reward, Landis membership, and Landis swag!
