Champion white poplar??

[Tom D]

I have or aerially inspect a monster white poplar next week, its by far the biggest one I have seen, does anyone know what vital statistics of the UK Champion are?

 

If its close I will take the time to measure this one, otherwise it will same me the bother..

 

My guess is that this one is 1.8-2m' DBH and about 30m high with at least 30m spread....

 

I have seen black poplars bigger than this but never a white one...

I might be able to top 27m.. not sure about the girth...

 

surprising how girth varies:confused1:

but 27 metres is certainly a big one

[woody paul]

It's not a black. Theres another 1 with in 50meters of it and its nearly as big but has lost half it's top.
