You are looking for a waterproof match container. This is one you
are going to have to dig for. Are you afraid of spiders, tough, you
will not find me, unless you put your hand in places you normally
wouldn’t. The cache is in a great tree that has many names like the
Iron tree or Osage Orange, Bois d'arc, Bodock Tree, Horse Apple;
Hedge Apple ... This spiny hedge shrub/tree is commonly found
growing throughout the central U.S and this one is a Champion.
Champion Trees of Mississippi is the official publication of the
Mississippi Champion Tree Program. It is a listing of the largest
reported trees of various species growing in the state. The list
has been maintained by the Mississippi Forestry Commission since
the program’s beginning in 1972. Mississippi’s parent program, the
National Register of Big Trees, was initiated in 1940 by the
American Forestry Association (now known as American Forests). All
trees submitted to the Mississippi Champion Tree Program are
compared to the most current edition of the National Register of
Big Trees. Currently, 163 trees are registered as Mississippi
champions, nine of which are also national champions and five are
national co-champions. The list of champion trees is constantly
changing as people explore new areas or take a good look at the
trees in their own back yards. If you think you may have discovered
a champion tree, simply follow the nominating procedure found in
this document. For more information go to.
