The Tree That Owns Itself

The Prehistoric Tree

The Adansonia grandidieri is a peculiar looking tree native to Madagascar. It truly looks prehistoric and unlike any other tree you’d find. In the documentary Planet Earth, it is mentioned that this is possibly a surviving prehistoric tree. Interesting!

The Tree of Many Faces

The Tule Tree is a tree in Mexico with the widest trunk ever recorded – so wide that it was thought to be several trees clumped together. Turns out that not only is it one tree, but also it carves on itself some abstract curves up to interpretation. A tree of many faces indeed.

    Hey thanks for the interesting tree story.
    You might like to put a Victorian Mountain Ash on there: apparently they are very old, and are close to the tallest trees in the world. The forests near Melbourne are amazing - quiet and cool, with just the sounds of bellbirds and the occasional rare lyrebird.
