the most magnificent trees in the world

This huge 125-year-oldold rhododendron is technically not a tree as most are considered to be shrubs.



 At 1,990 square meters (about half an acre), this huge wisteria is the largest of its kind in Japan.



These trees on Slope Point, the southern tip of New Zealand, grow at an angle because they’re constantly buffeted by extreme antarctic winds.

 The Antarctic beech is native to Chile and Argentina, though this specimen is from the U.S.’ North Pacific region.


 This beautiful tunnel of cherry blossoms blooms in Bonn, Germany in April.


 The Angel Oak in South Carolina stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall and is estimated to be more than 400 or 500 years old.


 The flamboyant tree is endemic to Madagascar, but it grows in tropical areas around the world.



The dragonblood tree earned its fearsome name due to its crimson red sap, which is used as a dye and was used as a violin varnish, an alchemical ignredient, and as folk remedy for various ailments.

President, located in Sequoia National Park in California, stands 241 ft (73m) tall and has a ground circumference of 93 ft (28m).
It is the third largest giant sequoia in the world (second if you count its branches in addition to its trunk).
 
 

Ireland’s Dark Hedges were planted in the 18th century. This stunning beech tree tunnel was featured on Game of Thrones as well.
