I would say Sacramento, and Portland. Minneapolis has it's fair share of trees as well, but they seem to be everywhere in Sacto and PDX.

Except for Paris, Sacramento has more trees per capita than any place in the world.

Tulsa is known for its lush trees. Especially for the part of the country it is in. Its right on the edge of the prarie and Ozark Mountain range and nestled along a river and near lots of lakes. So those cities to the south and west of us in the area dont have the trees and vegetation like we do. The old oil baron neighborhoods with their huge old trees and lush lawns are especially nice.

Trees can get pretty big around here too. Giant Pines by an old Cathedral in Tulsa.

What kinds of trees do you like? There were sure a lot in Portland. And Alaska. And Washington.

I am from Pittsburgh. People from out of town are always saying they are amazed at the number of trees we have. Not just around the city limits, but right in down town! I think it helps with the rivers, because they are lined with trees on both sides. Makes for excellent biking/walking trails through the downtown area!
