What’s the biggest tree at the Arboretum?
“Mr. Big” is a massive red gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in our Australian collection. It is easy to find after you cross the white bridge over Silver King Wash adjacent to the Drover’s Wool Shed. Just turn right on the Main Trail and walk a short distance. This venerable tree was planted in 1926 and reaches over 140 feet skyward. It is on the registry of big trees as the largest individual of this species in the United States.
