state tree

Official botanical symbol

A state tree is a tree species officially designated as a symbol of a U.S. state, chosen by the state legislature.

Most states selected trees with economic or historical significance: The sugar maple is Vermont's state tree.

Some trees represent multiple states—the pecan is claimed by both Texas and Alabama.
