There are trees, and there are big trees, then there are Champion Trees. 

Champion Trees are counted among the largest in the nation, and Wisconsin has three: a Black Spruce in Taylor County, a Northern Pin Oak in Portage County and a Peachleaf Willow in Milwaukee County.  A former Champion, the McArthur Pine in Forest County, named for the famous General, was felled by lighting in 2001.
