    There are some huge cottonwood trees at the Fort in Fort Davis. A Rio Grande cottonwood tree at Fort Davis (pop. 1,050) has been listed on the American Forests’ National Register of Big Trees since 1971 as the nation’s biggest of that species. The tree has a trunk 30.6 feet around, stands 92 feet high and has an average crown spread of 92 feet.

      Surprised the wedding oak in San Saba isn’t in the pictures.

            It’s nowhere near a record, but this pecan at my dad’s place is massive. She is in excellent shape, too, so hopefully she lives long enough to make the books. Pictures don’t do it justice, the crown is about 120 feet wide.

                        Big Cypress Tree

                        Cypress at my place on the Sabinal near Utopia. My son on the left and his best friend are both 6-5" tall.

                          Are the big oaks still in the middle of the streets in Lampasas? When I was a kid, they were the neatest thing a city boy ever saw.

                            I was thinking someone would post this tree. It’s pretty impressive, I love catching some shade under that tree.

                              Oh wow. I think I need to go take pictures of some of the trees on my place. I have a pecan tree that is bigger than nearly all of the ones posted here. I also have a cedar tree that is quite impressive.
