Identifier: Series 2

Overview

Growing majestically within Maryland’s 2.7 million acres of woodlands are twelve national champion trees, which are the largest of their species in the U.S. What does it take to be recognized as a champion? A little help from Mother Nature and a combination of eye- popping measurements – height, circumference, and crown spread. Growing into Greatness is a 60-minute documentary that focuses on the natural grandeur and history of Maryland’s champion trees.
