If you visit different parts of Texas you'll find trees that have been standing tall for over 200 years! In today’s podcast I’ll reveal five interesting trees in Texas history that hold the most significant past including a tree that witnessed the abolishment of slavery, the tree tombstone of a once known robber, one that was involved in the murder of a well-known colonel during the Texas Revolution, a transplanted tree from Japan and finally one that dates back to the earliest of Texas conquistadors!
