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.
After you get a count could you let me know what the oxygen output is...or how much ground water we could put to other uses if we cut them all down? heh heh
