Plantidote of the Day 2011-12-13

Unidentified tree at the Los Angeles Arboretum

Isn't it beautiful? Kind of like a combination of an evergreen and a weeping willow. Too bad I didn't get the name, but there was no badge on this one, so maybe someone will recognize it. Or not. Either way is fine. Because although it would be nice to know what this one is, this particular tree is not the real point of the post. That would be the following ...

... a spectacularly wonderful collection of the most famous trees in the world. Enjoy!!
