I have heard that there are trees in adventure land that are somehow "special" . what is so special about them , and where are they???

Some of the trees that make up the forest in Jungle Cruise are original trees that were on the land prior to Disneyland being built.

Accroding to Disneyland - Then , Now, and Forever . . . . "Walt wanted to keep as many of the site's existing trees as possible, so each tree was tagged with a differant colored ribbon to indicate "move", "remove", or "save." To Walt's dismay, most of the trees were bulldozed - the bulldozer operator was color-blind! However the giant eucalyptus trees were saved , and today serve as the backdrop for the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland."

I dont know if you've heard this, but one of those trees housed a little man a believe.

Dont think this belongs in the Rumor Mill though.

The Dominguez family lived on part of Disneyland before it was built. Disney saved some things from the land includidng a palm tree that the Dominguez family owned. I think you can still see it on the Jungle Cruise.

You learn many things from The "E" Ticket magazine!
