2005 / First Edition
Publisher: MIT Press
Bosworth compiles 70 photographs of the nation’s champion trees as determined by the National Register of Big Trees. Champion status is determined with a points system taking into account circumference of the trunk, total height, and spread of the canopy. Bosworth ventures into backyards, fields, and forests in pursuit of these champion trees. “The western red cedar stands alone in the middle of a clear-cut, saved from logging only because it is recorded in the Register as the biggest of its kind.” The foreword is written by Roger Conover, where he addresses what defines a tree.
Condition: Hardcover. Like new.
