If you have lived in different places - or even visited them, close your eyes and try - in turn - to visualize each one. Now, I do know know the average height of trees in Massachusetts, where he was Governor or NH where he vacations - or any of his other many places.

I suspect - that almost in a rosebud (Citizen Kane) way that the look and size of the trees connected with his image of his world in the early 1950s. The comment is almost impressionistic and seemed to be coming from somewhere deeper than his typical words. It is clearly not thought out as there really is no one best height.
