On 9-24-12, I measured this tree out at 200 points making it the largest hickory tree in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin DNR keeps a web site listing the largest trees in the state. Currently the web site is under reconstruction so it can not be viewed. Search "WI Champion Trees" to see if the new web site is up and running. The tree is located on a public right-of-way at the corner of Clow Rd. and County G. The old Ball Prairie School is across the road.
