I’d like to see ChampionTier go on the Champion Tree Ride.

I had to google what a champion tree is. It’s a big tree. There’s a registry of big trees online:

Here’s some more information on Champion Trees in Arlington.

Judd, sorry, man, but you are not allowed to access this information or go on the ride. We all know what your last name is, and it’s best for the trees :p

Hmm. From your link we learn that
“A Champion Tree is the largest specimen of its species…..
Ratings are determined by adding three numbers:
Circumference or girth (in inches)
Height (in feet)
25% of average crown spread (in feet)
High score wins.”

Bigger is not always better. Just sayin’.

I’m pretty sure that I’m a Champion Judd. Compared to Judd Nelson, Judd Apatow and Judd Hirsch. Though I’m not sure how to measure my crown spread.

Only 42 inches?
