Knowing about them helps get people excited about planting new trees by seeing their unbelievable potential. They are not only interesting, even trilling, but can help with decisions about your own trees. Rather than dropping everything to travel the world to see all the fabulous trees I know about, you can experience them without leaving your house.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to experience these trees. The Dirt Doctor organization has website Library entries that are the best places to find the most details, but there is an easier way to see the basic facts and the most photographs of these great trees. It&#8217;s the <b>Fabulous Trees Slideshow<\/b>. View it free at the top right corner of dirtdoctor.com (and in this topic, below). I hope you enjoy it \u2013 I still do every time I re-see it. Here you will see the national champion pecan, the state champion ginkgo, largest kapok in Costa Rico, largest Montezuma cypress (probably the largest tree) in the world, the oldest trees in the world and even the Nellie Climbing Tree and much more.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ki9bjY0LJ_M?si=3Ff-qaXr-kGSwFbX\" title=\"YouTube video player\">VIDEO<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Not only can you see the greatest trees in the world, many that you can grow here in north Texas and other parts of the country, but the slide show also shows the planting and management details that I have discovered to be the most successful and cost effective.<\/p>\n<p><b>Notes with more links<\/b>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sandonspaldingstaging.com\/DirtDr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Montezuma_cypress_-_largest_tree_in_the_world.jpg\"><br \/>\nMontezuma cypress\u2014largest tree in the world<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sandonspaldingstaging.com\/DirtDr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan_National_Champion.jpeg\"><br \/>\nPecan National Champion<\/p>\n<p>Our web site Library entries give even more details about the trees, including the ones that will grow here in in north Texas &#8211; including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dirtdoctor.com\/garden\/Pecan-Tree-Champion-Weatherford_vq1917.htm\">National champion pecan tree<\/a> in Weatherford.
