Hi Robert,

If you look at all the 50 states and the trees that are designated state trees there are alot of oaks, and maples. If you really wanted to split palm fibers some might say that a palm is not a tree but a palm because of the way it grows (monocot) vs (dicot) for a tree. Trees branch, and palms grows from the center and do not branch out, although there is one variety of palm that does and I have seen a 2 headed cabbage palm once in a photo. Louisiana has the Bald Cypress.

If I could choose I would pick all three of the mangroves, red,black,and white. Those are fascinating and so critical to our environment.

I did not know that. It’s an interesting choice for Florida … others come to mind. But they are everywhere. Good to know we have a state tree twin up north.
