Nominating a Big Tree? Here's what we look for in submitted images:
- Images showing as much of the spread of the crown as possible. This may be difficult or impossible depending on tree location and surrounding vegetation. If you are using the camera app on your phone, there should be a “Panoramic” setting. You can use this setting to take pictures of the entire tree when you are unable to do so in one frame with the normal camera setting.
- Images that display the size of the tree or any unique features.
- Optional but encouraged are images of the trees throughout different seasons.
