Do you know of a big tree in your neighborhood? Think your tree can measure up to the big boys? If so, first check our Big Tree Database to verify that your tree isn't already listed, and then fill out the form below to nominate your tree. You will need to take measurements of your tree. If you aren't sure how to measure the tree, please call us at (505) 265-4554 and we'll walk you through the steps and explain each measurement.

Calculating Total Points
The formula below is used to assign points to compare your tree's overall "bigness" to others. Please follow the formula and enter your total points in the space provided.

Circumference in inches
+ Height in feet
+ 1/4 of the crown spread in feet
= TOTAL Points

For example, if your tree has a circumference of 60 inches, is 70 feet tall, and has a crown spread of 40 feet, your formula is: 60 + 70 + (.25 * 40) = 140 points.

Tree's total points: points
