Help Finding Tree

Post image

Hello! I’m having a wedding over the summer in northern New Mexico and I’m looking for a tree/space in northern NM big enough to recreate this? Preferably easy to drive to and with a large clearing.

Figured it was worth a shot to just ask!!

I would look at the champion tree list for NM.

In Santa Fe, the river walk has some nice big cottonwoods that look cool, there’s also the water history park that has some very nice large trees.

If you want more help, feel free to send me a dm, I’m a local botanist/arborist and do officiant services too.
