There is (or was, at least) a pignut off of Reed Rd in Buncombe, that was 164.3 feet tape-dropped in 2004

Shoulda told me you were coming! There are some big sassafras, and lots of ash- they're about to die with EAB here now.

Nice! Is that openly available LiDAR? It looks to be such a high resolution! What are you using for processing it?

Mario, what does the crown of that tree with the arrows look like?

Nice, Mario- what camera are you using?

Nice! I love big elms. Are you pretty sure it's American and not rock elm? I can't say that I've seen any big forest-grown rock elm though, at least, that I recognized. The bark is generally a little different and the form is too. Looks like it'd be hard to see buds or find samaras there though!

This is great Michael- for whoever is interested, Tennessee has apparently flown a lot of the state and the data is available ( https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/finance/sts-gis/gis/gis-projects/gis-projects-elevation.html#map), but a lot of it appears to be in large downloads, I'm not sure how to sort ...

There are definitely ovata in the mountains, scattered around- that's about as high as they grow as far as I know though.

Paulownia tomentosa, a weed basically

Should have measured subalpine, apparently there isn't even a current champ!
