In the early 2000s, the Pinchot Sycamore was slated to be listed among the two largest American sycamore trees in the United States. Which state was home to the tree it was tied with?

A) Ohio
B) North Carolina
C) Maryland
D) Virginia

Answer: C) In the early 2000s, our legendary Pinchot Sycamore in Simsbury was officially tied for the title of National Co-Champion with a massive sycamore located in Maryland. The two trees were virtually identical in "bigness" based on a point system that measures trunk girth, height, and branch spread. While the leaderboard for these giants shifts over time, our local leafy celebrity remains the undisputed heavyweight champion of Connecticut.
