See Which North Jersey Trees Made the State's Historic Register [Interactive Map]

Believe it or not, North Jersey is dotted with centuries-old trees as high as 10-story buildings. 

As communities across the state celebrate Arbor Day Friday, above are some old-growth trees that made the state's 'Champion Trees' Register.

On the catalogue is a 309-year-old red oak in Wyckoff — the largest of its kind in the state — and a 388-year-old tree in Madison that is likely the biggest white ash in the United States, Evan Dilluvio, a forester with the state Forest Service's Community Forestry Program told the Star-Ledger. 

The register, maintained by the division of Parks and Forestry, is updated through 2011.

One tree that hasn't yet made the list is a nearly 600-year-old white oak in the cemetery of the Presbyterian Church of Basking Ridge. Church historian George Fricke told the Star-Ledger that the tree stands at 93 feet tall with a circumference of 19 feet. 

At 100-feet-tall, a more than 300-year-old red oak casts an imposing shadow in Pat Dellechiaie's Wyckoff Avenue yard. 

"We moved in about a year ago and it was great to watch the grandkids. They went nuts. They were climbing the tree and going crazy playing all around it. They don't realize how old it is and they are happy to just climb it," Dellechiaie said Thursday outside her home.

"You should see it when it's really in bloom in the late spring and summer. It's beautiful."
