US Official State Trees

Official State Tree Designations

Each of the 50 states have designated an official "State Tree." All of the state trees, except the Hawaii's state tree, are native to the state in which they are designated. Some of the Latin names you see here may be different from those you may have seen before due to changes in plant nomenclature; we have chosen to list the current valid botanical name. Where more than one accepted common name exists, the common name in the legislation has been listed.
 

Many of the Official State Tree Designations of the 50 States listed here can be found in the U.S. National Arboretum's "National Grove of State Trees." However, because the climate in Washington doesn't allow the growth of all of the state trees, trees have been substituted for some of the states.
