Another gorgeous tree submission from the Landis family near Egypt Valley — an impressive oak tree measuring 11 feet 10 inches around.

The bark on this one is incredible. I love all the layered growth and circular patterns woven throughout the trunk. That kind of texture is the result of many years!

Have an old or impressive tree to share?
We’d love to see it as we continue the hunt for the oldest tree in Cannon Township!

To participate, submit:
• A photo of the tree
• The tree species
• The tree’s circumference or diameter (measured about 4½ feet from the ground)

Take a look at these incredible trees from the Alles family, located near Courtland and Wolverine.

A stunning northern catalpa measuring an impressive 15 feet around, alongside a massive black walnut coming in at 14 feet 5 inches.

The bark pattern on the northern catalpa is absolutely mesmerizing — full of deep ridges and twisting texture that makes it hard to stop staring at. And special thanks to the guy helping keep our perspective on just how enormous these trees really are!

The Maplehurst Farm on Ramsdell between Belding Rd and 9 Mile is home to several incredible historic trees.

Three beautiful maple trees were planted in the front yard of the homestead during the Centennial Year of 1876 and have now grown to an impressive 10’9”.

But the real giants on the farm are:
• A striking black walnut tree near the barn measuring 11’9”
• A majestic oak tree in the backyard measuring an enormous 12’11”

Keep the submissions coming — we’re grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share these amazing trees with us!

We have our first hickory tree submission from Kimberly and John Scattergood, located near Sunfish and Cannonsburg!

This majestic hickory comes in at nearly 8 feet around — especially impressive since hickories are less common and typically slower growing than many of our area oaks. 🌳
