Mississippi is a Southern state of the United States. The state takes its name from the Mississippi River, which flows along the western boundary. The name itself comes from either the Ojibwe, a Native American language spoken around the river's headwaters, or some other closely related Algonquian language, meaning "great river." Other nicknames attached to Mississippi are the Magnolia State and the Hospitality State.

In Maryland:\n\nFounding of the town of Springfield\n    [5F02] As early as 1649, the Maryland town of Sprynge-Fielde was inhabited by obvious ancestors of the people of Springfield, the Flanders and the Simpsons.\n\n    [3F13] In 1796, a fiercely determined band of pioneers leaves Maryland after misinterpreting a passage in the bible. Their destination, New Sodom. [4F03] Marge says these pioneers were circus freaks.\n\n        * Jebediah: "People, our search is over. On this site we shall build a new town, where we can worship freely, govern justly, and grow vast fields of hemp for making rope and blankets."\n        * Shelbyville Manhattan: "yes, and marry our cousins."\n        * Jebediah: "What are you talking about Shelbyville? Why would we want to marry our cousins?"\n        * Shelbyville Manhattan: "Cause they're so attractive. I thought that was the whole point of this journey."\n        * Jebediah: "Absolutely not."\n        * Shelbyville Manhattan: "I tell you I won't live in a town that robs men of the right to marry their cousins."\n        * Jebediah: "Well then, we'll form our own town. Who will come and live a life devoted to chastity, abstinence, and a flavorless mush I call rootmarm?" \n\n    [2F22] The town of Springfield was born on that day. And to mark that sweet moment, our people planted this lemon tree. Lemons being the sweetest fruit available at the time. [4F15] In 1797, the town charter was created;\n\n        * [9F10] "...as chief constable, ye shall receive one pig every month and two comely lasses of virtue true."

A like to go for a drive to see the Fall coulors, I am in Idaho Falls USA.\n\nlt is the season before winter.\n\nFall is also known as Autumn. It is call fall because of the natural event that occures during this season some tree in certain areas and most tree in some area slowly chane colour from green to Yellow or Red or Purple or mixed colours.  \n\nWhen certain tree loose their leaves completely. Before loosing them lots of tree acquire very bright colour, people take time off to enjoy natures art work on the land scape it is a sight to behold, in many parts of the world.\n\nIn some Indian languages it will be PanKh-rd RooToo(Gujarati). In Gujarati language, six seasons are accounted for, in USA, Europe, Australia they have four seasons, Summer, Fall or Autumn, Winter and Spring in this order. \n\nIt starts in the northern Hemisphere early in August, way up north(Alaska) and if you are in Texas you can experience it in late November or early December as you go south fall is very short and it is not very distinct..\n\nIn Bombay India it is hardly experienced as the new leaves bust out very fast but you can see lots of leaves falling and leaves all over the place the order is also different Winter comes first and the fall the spring.......

The Guinness Book of World Records currently lists a 12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" as the oldest tree on earth. Previously, the "Methuselah" Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) held the record at about 4,700 years.\n\nThe Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) was first identified as a long-lived tree by Dr Edmund Schulman following surveys in California's White Mountains in 1954. The oldest pines grow at elevations above 3,000 metres in arid, rocky areas of the Great Basin that covers the state of Nevada and parts of Utah and California. (This mountainous area of 500,000 square kilometres has no rivers or creeks flowing out of it.) They exist on the tree line in severe conditions, and often appear to be mostly dead, with only part of the trunk having living bark and leaves. This growth strategy is a response to damage from climate and lightning strikes, and allows the tree to exist on limited resources.\n\nThe bristlecones of Wheeler Peak in Nevada were believed to be older than those found in California. In 1964 a geology student called Donald R. Currey came to Wheeler Peak to study ice age glaciers, partly by collecting tree ring data. Using coring tools, he identified trees over 4,000 years old.\n\nWhen his coring tool jammed inside a massive tree, he asked for, and received, permission from the US Forest Service to cut the tree off at 2.4 metres above the ground and keep a horizontal slab for study. When this slab had its rings counted, it turned out to be over 4,844 years old. Later cores taken closer to ground level by dendrochronologist Don Graybill showed it to be 4,862 years old - the oldest living thing ever discovered.\n\nWheeler Peak is now part of the Great Basin National Park, which was created in 1986.\n\nThen a 4,600+ year old bristlecone called "Methuselah" in the White Mountains of California was considered as the oldest tree now living. Some reports have it as 4,789 years old.\n\nWe can say,today,as ref to The Guinness Book of World Records,12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" is the oldest tree on earth!!

It's the name of the wood used in making early printing wood blocks, aka catalpa.\n\nAs the name of the California town, it comes from the Indian name for the area, Asuksa-gna.  Nobody knows what it means.

If you are looking for it wild, check the map at the link below -- it shows which counties in Texas have it growing natively. They are mostly in eastern Texas.\n\nGood luck!
