In California we have the tallest trees (redwood), the largest trees (giant sequoia), the largest pine trees (sugar pine), the trees with the longest pine cones (also sugar pine), the trees with the largest pine cones (Coulter pine), and the longest lived non-clonal trees (bristlecone pine). Not bad!
