Trees per capita and effect on urban area pollution (state, compared, places)

[vivo]

Which areas do you think have the most trees per capita?
I was thinking about trees when I was driving to work today from the baltimore area to the dc beltway. and then 4-5mi on the beltway itself. trees all around. contrast it to driving on LA's major hwy from northern orange co to downtown. not only are there no trees but as an aside, the road itself sucks.

I hear ATL is very lush, and probably other cities in that region. Minneapolis is lush also, but the trees are wider than what I see in Atlanta for instance so you technically would have fewer trees per capita. I can't think of any other examples that are "staggering".

I would say Atlanta.

The entire Piedmont region from around Birmingham up to D.C. is very lush.

All of the cities in this corridor are really, really green. Atlanta within the 285 Perimeter may have the most trees, but probably not by much compared to our other Piedmont neighbors.

New Jersey is the Garden State, and the effect of our lush greenery is that we are very happy from the jersey tomatoes, basil, sweet corn, cranberries, and other fine produce here.

Some places have invasive plants like Kudzu killing all their trees and native plants, but we don't have to worry about Kudzu in our state, because we do a good job of keeping stuff like that out, to protect our beloved gardens.

Yeah, you really have to hand it to New Jersey.

It's a miracle that anything grows there at all with all the pollution belching out of Newark/Elizabeth.

So we're going to beat the Kudzu drum now, are we? Give my regards to Meadowlands...the sight of the lush, green meadows that dot the landscape there are always a wonder to behold.

Much of California is practically a desert so trees have been planted. Also palm trees don't provide enough shade so the cities aren't planting them for street trees anymore.

Well it's easier to keep kudzu out of Jersey given the fact that it has climate and mother nature on its side. Regardless, there are many lush areas down here where kudzu actually adds to the aesthetic of lush, beautiful greenery.
