“Big” can mean height, diameter, or crown spread. The biggest tree using a formula that incorporates all three factors is a black willow (Salix nigra) near Traverse City. The tallest tree is a 179 foot red maple (Acer rubrum in St. Clair County), as the 201 foot white pine (Pinus strobus) is reported to have died. A white oak (Quercus alba) near Allegan has the widest reported crown spread at 161 feet. The tree with the largest diameter is the same black willow by Traverse City.
