Fina’s Tree
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.

dont look that big to me
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?
