Fina’s Tree

Tuesday, 25th October 2005 by

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. Thanks to Jeff Burton.
