The tree is reportedly the largest sugar maple in New Hampshire and it was declared the largest sugar maple in the U.S. by the National Register of Champion Trees, the news article stated.
This tree, along with a second sugar maple, was reportedly planted in 1780, the Union Leader said.

Wellnitz Tree Care Plant Health Care Manager Skyler Delmott was helping with a client when he noticed two large trees in the yard. Not thinking much of the trees at the time, one of the trees would soon be named as the 2020 State Champion Trees of Kansas.
Champion Trees of Kansas is a program through the Kansas Forest Service to bring awareness to the largest trees in the state.
Delmott just finished the job for the client and moved on, but I kept thinking that I should go over and just measure those trees, he said.Â
A year passed by and he never got back to do so. When he was working at another client s house in Osage City, he noticed how big the tree was in their backyard.
