All 50 states and several U.S. territories have officially embraced a state tree.  All of these state trees, with the exception of Hawaii's state tree, are natives that naturally live and grow in the state in which they are designated. I list each state tree in order by state, common name, scientific name and the year of enabling legislation. Note: I try to link each state tree to important botanical and silvic information. Alabama State Tree, longleaf pine, Pinus palustris, enacted 1997 Alaska State Tree, Sitka spruce, Picea sitchensis, enacted 1962 Arizona State Tree, palo verde, Parkinsonia florida, enacted unknown Arkansas State Tree, loblolly pine, Pinus taeda, enacted 1939 California State Tree, California redwood, Sequoia giganteum - Sequoia sempervirens, enacted 1937/195?.
