Champion bur oak

[Jesse]

We pruned and installed a lightning protection system in the national champ bur oak today. It is an amazing tree: 93" DBH, just over 100' tall, and nearly 100' spread. Unfortunately didn't get pics of my own, but the local paper came out. Here is a link to the article and a few pics.
