Every one of the 50 states have an Official "State Tree." All of the state trees, with the exception of the Hawaii's state tree, are native to the state in which they have
been designated. Several of the Latin names you see here might be not the same as those you may have seen before because of changes in plant terminology; here is the current
common name. Where more than one common name exists, the common name in the one that is listed.
A significant number of the Official State Tree Designations of the 50 States shown here can be found in the U.S. National Arboretum's "National Grove of State Trees."
However, the Washington dc climate doesn't permit growing of every state tree, trees may have been substituted for a few states.
