| Scientific Name: Maclura pomifera | Crown: 91 |
| Native/Naturalized: yes | Points: 414 |

| Comments: The tree, a male specimen estimated by arborists to be at least 200 years old, is located on land that was once owned by President George Washington. The osage orange has such a large canopy that it has created a microclimate underneath that is markedly cooler than surrounding areas. | |
