Arbol del Tule, a cypress tree, can be found in the town center of Santa Maria del Tule in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Arbol del Tule is most likely 1,400–1,600 years old, and the name Arbol del Tule translates to “Tree of Tule” in Spanish. This tree inspired the town’s name, which is a curious story!
