We have some famous trees in California ...besides the Redwoods we have the lone Cypress Tree in Pebble Beach. Have seen it many times, a tourist attraction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Cypress
According to White House lore, the stately magnolia was brought to Washington as a seedling by Andrew Jackson.
Breaking news, @Joe Riley. That Jackson Magnolia tree is likely coming down, eventually. (Reported December 27, 2017) The Jackson Magnolia, if planted by Jackson, is approximately 170 years old. It "has eclipsed the species’ minimum life expectancy of 150 years,” according to a report by the NPS Witness Tree Protection Program. (Witness Protection for trees ??? ) “Despite cavity repair work conducted in the late 1940s, the entire northwest portion of the tree has completely decayed, as has much of the interior,” the report states. The exterior is brittle, and poles and wire keep the tree “tensioned in place.” The tree likely couldn’t survive at all without this support." The silver lining: The Jackson Magnolia will eventually be replaced by Son of the Jackson Magnolia. “However disappointing the removal of the Jackson Magnolia, the silver lining of its demise is that White House groundskeepers were prepared. For several months, at an undisclosed greenhouse-like location nearby, healthy offshoots of the tree have been growing, tended to with care and now somewhere around eight to 10 feet tall.”
I collect heart shaped rocks. I noticed a few days ago that I have a heart shaped tree. Well, you might have to use your imagination a little bit on that one.
