Is Your Tree A Champion? LIVING IN TANDEM WITH TREES IN THE HEIGHTS Heights Urban Forestry Day is Sunday • September 21st at the historic Heights FireStation By  Heights Urban Forestry Day  · Updated  on Wednesday Heights Champion Tree designation by Denise Martin at  1421 Columbia in the historic Houston Heights Denise says: there are three live oaks in our easement, that we believe were all planted at the same time.  Our house was built by Felix Munzenmeyer starting in Sept of 1910. He was a carpenter and built the house himself with the help of his sibling s and other workers. He built on this lot bc one of his daughters was married to PL Borgstrum and lived 2 houses S of ours on Columbia. He passed in 1924 and from that date thru 1970 the house was a duplex. We do not know when the trees were planted, but assume sometime between 1912-24.  HOUSTON AREA URBAN FORESTRY COUNCIL  http://haufc.org/tree-registry/ Tree Regi...
