Major Oak, the most famous tree in Nottinghamshire, England, grows in Sherwood Forest. The legend of Robin Hood was created around this land mark so they say.
Matsuo Basho, the Master haiku poet, was interested in a Banana tree I believe Brian.
Alligator roping Henry Coppinger?
Thomas Edison was buried under an Oak tree..it is a little smaller tree
Rip Van Winkle, A harmless, drinking, shiftless lout, had profound sleep on the mossy ground

Yes, the best for last, Peter Waddington, the photo is an excerpt from Nishikigoi Still Waters and Giant Oak Heads Up.
It pays not to be perfect. The reason Major Oak tree was left to grow was that it is hollow just like the champion tree (Bald Cypress) in Florida.
