Champion Tree in Oakland Cemetery

According to Big Trees of Iowa, there is an Iowa State champion (ranked #3) in the cemetery.

It's a Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor), and here are its measurements:

Circumference:13'8" 

Height: 78' 

Average Crown Spread: 105.5'

The document states that it is "near the machine shed at the north end of the cemetery."

This oak is easy to ID in summertime because of the silvery underside of its leaves (hence the specific epithet). Winter ID proves a little harder but is facilitated by its bark, which can peel on younger branches and twigs. This bud and twig key might be of use.

Once I find this champion, I'll report back with photos.
