href=\"http:\/\/pabigtrees.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pabigtrees.com)<\/a>, this tree had a trunk circumference of 185 inches in 2018, a spread of 93 feet, and an impressive height of 103 feet. \u00a0As such, it can perhaps be considered the co-champion Hackberry for the state of Pennsylvania.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people follow the\u00a0<em><strong>3 x 3 Rule<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>when deciding whether two trees are co-champions. \u00a0Under this rule, co-champions are designated if (a) their measurement point total is less than 100 and within 3 of each other; or (b) their point total is more than 100 and within 3% of each other. \u00a0 A Bucks County Hackberry has a point total of 320, while the Millersville tree&#8217;s\u00a0total is 311. \u00a0Our tree, then, just barely qualifies as state co-champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nipple gall that often forms on lower leaf surfaces is a distinguishing characteristic of Hackberries&nbsp;and is caused by the jumping plant louse (psyllids).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This amazing species is the only host plant for the Hackberry Emperor Butterfly, which itself is unusual because it rarely visits flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[The tree photos are from pabigtrees. com]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
