Well upon further reflection, there are probably 1.2 billion trees in Rhode Island alone. So I think the actual number of trees in United States would be closer to several trillion.

I kind of threw that 1.2 billion number out there just to get a reaction. And yes, I know there are many millions trees in Arizona and New Mexico. Jersey too.

I have about a half acre of woods in my backyard and there are several hundred trees there easy.
