[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 772183, member: 12607"] Chuckie, I've made the 'pilgrimage' to the then MO Champion(now co-champion) bur oak, in the McBaine bottoms, on several occasions - was not far from where I lived. My buddy at MDC has probably retired by now - it's been nearly 20 yrs; but, I did recently exchange emails with an arborist in Columbia who has been involved in some of the recent care & feeding of the McBaine tree. Hope to get some scionwood from it this winter, and graft it into my collection. I'm in Christian Co., KY, just north of Stewart & Montgomery Co., TN. I had one bur oak growing on this farm when I moved here, back in '94 - right down on the creekbank, so I can only presume it was native, and not planted by a previous owner; although they're incredibly drought-tolerant, the drought of '98 took it out. Only other bur oaks I've seen around Christian Co., are young trees in spots(church yards, highway interchanges, etc.) that tell me that somebody planted them there. [/QUOTE]
