Physical Characteristics section[edit]
This section was added after I originally wrote the article, and frankly I don't see its point. It just seems to summarize the information already presented in the article text, which is why I tried to change its name to Summary of Physical Characteristics. Why shouldn't it be "Summary"? Is there any reason to even keep it? --Edward Tremel 01:41,

Hardwood?[edit]
It is not a hard wood tree, the reason it is called the COTTONWOOD is because it's wood is soft, like cotton. I dislike false information in these Wikipedia articles. 66.103.120.151 (talk) 21:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Try reading the article, Hardwood, to find out why it is...and it is called cottonwood because of the annoying cotton strands that it casts everywhere and not the wood.

The tree is a hardwood...period. Research what that means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.131.161 (talk) 04:24, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Inclusion of unregistered tree[edit]
In the oldest and largest section, in Jan. 2016 somebody entered an unregistered tree from west central Oklahoma, then mentioned it was split in half. This sounds like a double trunk and was probably never destined for the record books anyway. I would recommend removing this (unreferenced) line. Nerfer (talk) 21:43, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Trees Wide??[edit]
Why are the trees listed as wide and tall? Tall is fine, but I am quite sure that the trees are 88 feet tall and a 108 feet 'wide'. That would make them a Triangle. I have never seen one that was a triangle. Trees are listed in Wiki by height and either diameter or circumference at the base.
"California redwood.[4] It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1,200–1,800 years or more.[5] This species includes the tallest living trees on Earth, reaching up to 379 feet (115.5 m) in height (without the roots) and up to 29.2 feet (8.9 m) in diameter at breast height (dbh)."
