Braintree?

East Braintree is named for the forests of braintrees just to the west of the city. The large forest, which, at its peak, numbered several dozen trees, has been in decline for about two hundred years due to the high amount of pollution coming from the industrial plants at nearby Falcon Lake. For the early settlers of the area, the "brains" or large nodules found on the trees served as a life sustaining source of vitamins and nutrition in the long Canadian winters. Braintrees have been known to grow to several thousand feet in height. They once played host to the now extinct sirant monkey which was known for its symbiotic relationship with the Canadian buffalo.
