Apparently there are quite a few in the Portland area. Someone has been mapping them.

I used to ride my bike around every late summer gathering them from people's lawns.

The trees have sexes, so one has to find the female trees.

There are quite a few in Portland, and all relatively the same age because they were given away at the lewis and Clark exposition of 1905 by a representative from Chile.
