Removed from the List of individual trees:

"*Tyburn Tree, the name given to a gallows which stood in London, England between 1571 and 1783. The name is derived from elm trees which stood near the site, which was used as a place of execution before the construction of the gallows."

Tyburn 'tree' is not a tree at all, it is a figurative term for a (wooden) gallows, and derives from the gallows situated at Tybrun in London. The place name does not derive from elms, but means 'boundary place'. - MPF 09:35, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

"The General Grant tree, the official Christmas tree of the United States..." My impression is that the official tree is on the White house lawn. Wetman 06:36, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Verified. Official designation is "Nation's Christmas Tree."

[edit] Page title

This page should be moved back to List of famous trees. It is a listing of notable individual trees; List of trees instead suggests a list of tree species or genera. - MPF 20:44, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. Either that or add in famous/important tree species/groups. EG - Wollemia
