This is Fina’s Tree which at 110 feet, is the tallest tree in the whole of Tucson, Arizona. The story goes that back in 1910 a storm hit the city, and uprooted the young Red Gum tree, which was discovered and replanted by a little girl named Defina Bravo. Since that day the locals have called it ‘Fina’s Tree’ in rememberance.

Yeah… Not big at all
It’s pretty big by Tucson standards – places that get less than 6 inches of rain a year don’t normally grow tall trees.

When was the tree’s height recorded and by who?
