The cottonwoods here are putting on a dramatic late-fall display of color. These mighty trees are at the Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, Arizona, only a short walk from the dense cottonwood galleries on the banks of the San Pedro River.

The tree on the right is the biggest cottonwood I've ever seen. I estimate its diameter at breast hight at about 9 feet, or 2.5 meters. Because of its multiple trunks I think it might have grown from several individuals that conjoined at some point through a process called inosculation – proof that you never know where a kiss might lead.

I did a crude measurement with my outstretched arms and estimate that this mighty tree’s trunk is about 36 feet in circumference (11 m) at breast height.
