Our first Champion Tree!

In celebration of Georgia Arbor Day and Arbor Week we are thrilled to announce Underwood Hill's first official Champion Tree!
Expert volunteer Eli Dickerson certified a rare Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea) in Underwood Hills Park as the second largest recorded in Atlanta.
Trees Atlanta publishes a new list of the Champion Trees in metro Atlanta each year. The annual list is updated with new champions that are discovered and verified in the past year and as old champions disappear from the landscape. If you have a potential Champion Tree to nominate for review, please submit your nomination on the form on this page where you can learn all about the program.​
