I actually didn't know we had any of these left in the state. Loggers cleared our primordial Cypress and Pine in the early 1900s. Pretty cool.

Cat Island near St. Francisville is home to a 1,500-year-old National Champion Bald Cypress tree, the largest tree of any species east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The tree is 96 feet tall and boasts a diameter of 17 feet.
