I grew up next to a blue gum eucalyptus forest. Talk about magical! Its scent was heavenly, they were hugely tall, their bark and leaves were heavily scented. I spent countless hours climbing them.
Rainbow eucalyptus is my favorite tree. So when me and my boyfriend visited the big island for A month. We did laps around that Island trying to find one or more of them. After paying $30 a piece at a botanical garden to see them. We found them right around the corner from where we'd been staying right in front of the college! Go figure
A tree- like grass. Nor are palms true trees, as there is no secondary growth, producing bark. In addition, we need more grasslands, not just more forests.
I enjoyed! And I live in Florida, mangrove trees are essential!! The are one bad ass tree! They literally hold the coast together. All of it. When removed by humans, we have to replace it with concrete. The trees last longer than the concrete does.
I'm also from Florida mangroves are for sure incredible important for the environment and a bunch of different animals we do cut down to many trees but we shouldn't 86 concrete all together
What blew me away the most was that you showed a giraffe (an African animal) among the maple trees (a No. American tree). One can't help wondering how accurate these videos are.
I was born and raised in Oregon, and I loved visiting the Sequoia Redwood Forest in California. As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing more majestic than the beautiful Redwood Forest. I moved to Tennessee 2 years ago to get out of the Oregon Rain, but I sure miss visiting the Redwoods and Crescent City, California.
I am surprised that the Bristlecone pine seemingly was omitted. These old, gnarled high-altitude (9,000 to more than 11,000 ft above msl) pines found in Utah, Nevada and eastern California are among the oldest living organisms on planet Earth - the oldest known living example of Pinus longaeva has been dated at 4,855 years old. Just think of how much knowledge it has acquired during all those years!

Trees are farmed and are extremely valuable to us economically. We have clearcut far too much old growth forests worldwide, and tragically? We lost the American chestnut due to a blight fungus that has killed off most of these once dominant hardwood trees in much of North America.
Most of those were definitely Sequoias, I can’t say for sure if all of the trees pictured were accurate but General Sherman & several others were Sequoias for sure. Sequoias are still pretty tall compared to most trees found in other forests, they’re just not as tall as Redwoods. I visited Sequoia, I took a picture with General Sherman, it looks so much wider in person than it does on video here :) The other notable thing I saw in the images is the way some of the trees had noticeable burn scars but still stood tall. Sequoias actually depend on occasional burns & are known for surviving & continuing to grow even after being partially burned down. Many sequoias have severe burn scars.
Bamboo is the largest grass🙏🏼☺️you should replace the Bamboo with the MORINGA TREE also known as drum stick tree or Miracle tree.., has every vitamin us humans need, the seed oil helps heal skin and reverses aging for less wrinkles, and the seed pods after pressing the oil out can be used to filter your water to drink, it also kills cancer cells just like apple and apricot seeds. My hubby and I have started a Moringa tree farm in Golden Valley Arizona, they are the fastest growing tree on the planet, we planted them May 2023 and by New Years 2024 they stand 7ft tall🌳🌳🌳🌳 Moringa Forest Farms healing retreat coming in a couple years👸🏻
I love trees and have a lovely liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweetgum) which is gorgeous in the Autumn. Sadly the leaves have all gone now, but the spring will delight me with pale yellowish green leave. It looks stunning next to my ornamental plum with it's deep purple leaves
The eucalyptus tree is very pretty having those rainbow colors making them appear beautiful. And again, the Traveler Tree grows in my country of origins. We used to have one. By the way, the Fancy Banana is very cute 🥰 He seems to be a very happy little guy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁
One Easter vacation weekend my sister and I decided to hike up to the Valle Grande caldera from our home in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Our plans were thwarted, however, when we got to the aspen groves at around the 8,500 foot level. There was such a jumble of fallen trunks, roots and large, jagged boulders that we couldn't make forward progress. It was like trying to clamber through a giant "Pick-up-sticks" game.
I can't believe how he talked down General Sherman. I've stood at the base of it. It is truly a magnificent sight. It's so big I couldn't get the whole tree as one pic.
I enjoyed this informative video. I was a little surprised, when recapping uses for the birch tree, it wasn't mentioned that Native Americans used it's bark to make canoes. The tough bark can easily be peeled from the tree for this purpose.

Near where I live in Baton Rouge Louisiana there was an area with 3 Massive Live Oaks that we called “3 oaks”. The diameter of the trunks near the trees bases were near the same size as the Angel Oak shown in this video. To MY HORROR all 3 trees were cut down when the Dicks Sporting Goods store was built next to the Mall Of Louisiana. I remember climbing in the trees and walking down the Massive lower limbs when I was a kid over 50 years ago. I don’t think any of the trees were in a tree registry.
Number 6: the silk cotton tree. I grew up in South America and had one of those in our 5-acre "back yard". It was the only tree in that space (the rest of the space had only grass). It was at least 100 feet tall with massive branches only at the top. The trunk was cylindrical all the way up, with large buttress root system supporting it. That trunk was at least 8 feet in diameter. It was ancient. The main myth about it was that the spirits of the dead Dutch plantation owners lived in that tree, and as children, we were scared to go anywhere close to it. It had hundreds of 2-ft long hanging nests at the end of its branches of a particular black-yellow birds that grew to about 12-15 inches. And the pods that gave of the puffs of cotton with a single seed in them. We ate those seeds (if we could catch the puffs of silk cotton floating in the air), just for fun and not because we were hungry. That tree finally died (because the land became water-logged) - no pun intended, and then fell over some years later.
My mother requested me since I was eight years old never to cut a tree unless it was an absolute necessity because many of us do rest in a tree after having had the last breath. In our western world this spiritual knowledge survived 500 years of inquisition by the Catholic Church. In India every child knows this.
Excellent video. If I may correct you (as a gesture of goodwill), tree No 20 In the "Dead[v]lei" in Namibia: In the Afrikaans language we have the "v" and the"f" pronounced excactly the same. The V is also pronounced as an F. Correct pronunciation will then be Deadflei. Hope this helps. This area is known as Sossus [f]lei
Tree is technically more of an ecological niche rather than a group of closely related species. So technically bamboo, palm trees and Baobab trees(a succulent) are all trees
@@exfolios Digitally or not, still a very beautiful tree. Do you have any problem about that? Do you? Let me know because I can block you forever. I didn’t ask YOU first your opinion because it is IRRELEVANT TO ME. 🙄🙄 My goodness, what’s wrong with people today??? Jesus of Nazareth! Get a life, buddy, get a freaking life!

Birch bark has a high oil content, and it makes excellent firestarter. If you are lost in the woods and have a means of firelighting, birch bark is a life-saver.
Thank you ... ! I didn't know that. Oak bark has an adstringend character - if you use the inner lining (beneath the bark) on wounds it stops bleeding ...
The monkey-puzzle, bunyabunya tree grows in America also, we had one in our yard while I was still in high school back in Tampa, Fl. I'm surprised they didn't mention their "pine cones" which are enormous, weighing over 10 pounds, wreck cars parked beneath them and could probably kill or seriously maim anyone getting hit with one. They fall from the tallest branches and can wake you out of a sound sleep. If you cut into it, it smells like kerosene. I personally know where several are located and have always loved them although their leaves are sharp and the tree unclimbable.
Closely related to the Chilean Araucaria which has leaves so sharp that while hiking thru a stand of young ones my arm was slashed as if by a razor, so sharp I felt the wet blood but no pain.
You skipped some of the most interesting parts of the Kaikomako. Mainly the fact that it begins life as a divaricating bush, which is a behaviour that is rare in the world but common in new zealand where the branches grow in zigzag patterns that form geometric patterns like a beehive. It then grows and changes it's leaf shape and size, and stops the divaricating behaviour. Trees changing their growth behaviour and leaf shape is also a common trait in NZ but very rarely found elsewhere and especially not to this degree.
The Quaking Aspen tree - yet another example of human beings f@*&%g up the ecological system. But thank you TFB for reminding us how awesome trees are in so many ways.
Yes, fence in a section of the forest, then re-introduce an apex predator to keep the deer population in balance......and keep those cows out. Buy some land for your cow grazing!@@helgardhossain9038
years ago I planted several small twigs of trees on a hillside. I planted an Aspen tree. I could never figure out the heart shaped leaves and it is growing very slow. I live in western Washington State.
Wow, this video is really fascinating! I never knew there were so many unique trees out there. But honestly, I’ve always found that some of these unusual trees are more about aesthetics than actual ecological importance. Like, do we really need to focus so much on their looks when there are so many other pressing environmental issues? Just a thought!
You have a point but anything that gets us closer to trees is helpful. I spend a lot of time getting to know our native trees here in the UK and find something to appreciate about the appearance of all our trees. For instance, our native maple tree - the Field Maple - has lovely golden leaves in autumn :) Look around when you are outside and you'll see what I mean.
this video is really captivating and showcases some incredible trees I never knew existed! I have to say though, while I appreciate their uniqueness, I sometimes wonder if we value these unusual trees more than the native species that are essential to local ecosystems. I think it’s important to find a balance in our admiration for the exotic and our responsibility towards the familiar. What do you all think?
I agree, and would encourage everyone to spend time getting to know their own local wild trees species. And if people are thinking of planting a tree, maybe don't think of choosing the species like choosing from a catalogue of pretty objects, but think what is local and supports your native wildlife. Trees are far more than ornaments!
what a fascinating video! i love how you showcased such unique trees. however, i have to say, while some of these trees are truly bizarre, part of me feels like we're losing touch with the importance of native species. maybe we should focus on preserving those first before diving into the unusual?
Very good point. I find it a bit worrying how few people know our native trees here in the UK, even though we only have 30 species and everyone wants to be 'planting trees' these days. I can see that our environment is really suffering from a neglect of knowledge. With just a bit of knowledge we could easily have pockets of native woodlands in and around our cities. But our local council plants anything anywhere with not thought to ecology.
Impossible to pick 1 that blew me away the most! As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, despite a very few mistakes in the facts. But that's ok...presuming you'll work on that. I so enjoy your videos! As a California native, have been blessed to spend much vacation time in our beautiful Redwood forests. The Coastal Redwoods are my favorite place on Earth (limited parts I have seen) to be. There's nothing like them! Sequoia & Coastal Redwoods are somewhat different, due mostly to the habitats they grow in. Coastal Redwoods tend to be taller & Sequoias, in their much drier inland habitat, are much bigger around. Much! There's a long ago cut down 1 that's stump is so large you could square dance on it! (And people have.) "Coastal" shares a very moist environment with giant ferns (& huge yellow Banana Slugs) & it relies on nightly coastal fog, which it takes in thru its needles, to get enuff moisture. Planting them where there's no nightly fog, as people often do, makes them sickly & unwell looking compared to the ones where they naturally grow. Thanks for the lively video!
I grew up making maple syrup. It was a family project and all ages participated. It wasn’t just limited to syrup, but my favorite was maple candy. I sure do miss making it!

No mention of the old Bristlecone Pine trees? Some years ago they were trying to determine the age of a large Bristlecone tree but they did not have a core bar long enough. So they decided to cut the tree and take a slab and just count the rings. Later they regretted dong so because it turns out they killed the oldest living tree - more than 4500 years old. Last I heard that slab is on display in some casino, but I don't remember the name of that casino.

Impossible to pick 1 that blew me away the most! As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, despite a very few mistakes in the facts. But that's ok...presuming you'll work on that.
I so enjoy your videos! As a California native, have been blessed to spend much vacation time in our beautiful Redwood forests. The Coastal Redwoods are my favorite place on Earth (limited parts I have seen) to be. There's nothing like them!
Sequoia & Coastal Redwoods are somewhat different, due mostly to the habitats they grow in. Coastal Redwoods tend to be taller & Sequoias, in their much drier inland habitat, are much bigger around. Much! There's a long ago cut down 1 that's stump is so large you could square dance on it! (And people have.) "Coastal" shares a very moist environment with giant ferns (& huge yellow Banana Slugs) & it relies on nightly coastal fog, which it takes in thru its needles, to get enuff moisture. Planting them where there's no nightly fog, as people often do, makes them sickly & unwell looking compared to the ones where they naturally grow.
Thanks for the lively video!
I grew up making maple syrup. It was a family project and all ages participated. It wasn’t just limited to syrup, but my favorite was maple candy. I sure do miss making it!
I’m surprised that the banyan tree didn’t make this list. They are amazing.
And the Rhubarb tree,
where Elephants nest..

Very interesting video
Your video very nice to see 🎉🎉🎉
When did Bamboo become a tree?
Trees are the main reason I could never live in the stark deserts of our American southwest. I simply could not survive in an area without trees.
Bamboo is amazing stuff but it is not a tree it is a grass.
My stepmother drove through a tree in Oregon in like 1995. It is the Chandelier Drive-thru Tree. Its Of HWY 101 South of Riverdale in Leggett, CA. North Of San Francisco along the coast.

No mention of the old Bristlecone Pine trees? Some years ago they were trying to determine the age of a large Bristlecone tree but they did not have a core bar long enough. So they decided to cut the tree and take a slab and just count the rings. Later they regretted dong so because it turns out they killed the oldest living tree - more than 4500 years old. Last I heard that slab is on display in some casino, but I don't remember the name of that casino.
I'm so happy you added the cover photo tree and that it wasn't click bait. I Just banned a channel from my feed for that reason.
