Yes, I imagine those trees are big and beautiful. Maybe a good thing you cannot visit them so often as all that carbon monoxide from your cars cannot be good for those trees..

the cottonwoods in Texas are not to shabby either.

Since 1971, a Rio Grande cottonwood tree in Fort Davis, Texas, has been listed on the American Forests' National Register of Big Trees as the biggest. That Texas tree, most recently measured in 2001, has a trunk 30.6 feet around, stands 92 feet high, and has an average crown spread of 92 feet - statistics that earn it a Big Tree point score of 489

or the largest Texas Sabal Palm forest left in the country.

Sabal Palm Grove Sanctuary in the Rio Grande Valley is a 527-acre wildlife sanctuary operated by the National Audubon Society that preserves the largest piece of the Texas Sabal Palm forest remaining in the United States.
