20 Most Unusual Trees in The World

Trees do the most important jobs on planet Earth and yet we quite often forget to even notice that they exist. But sometimes trees are just too gosh-darned interesting to go unnoticed. Here are 20 Most Unusual Trees In The World.

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.

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.

[@metalanarchy5186]

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

[@peggysuedavis3395]

The number 17 tree is the giant redwood, not a sequoia. Redwoods are tall, sequoias are shorter with larger diameters

[@aracelylopezpsyd5794]

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.

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!

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 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.

Birch trees also produce syrup, beer, & a flavoring for sodapop.

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.

[@ArroEL922]

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.

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.

[@jeanneferguson7124]

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.

[@electrichellion5946]

They live in NW Oregon also.

[@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934]

So you can’t climb them? Bummer! That was first thing I thought of was how awesome it would be to climb one..

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.

[@lockwoodthexton]

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.

[@helgardhossain9038]

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 ...

Bamboo is not a tree, it’s a grass. Not sure why it was included here.

[@JoshStobart]

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.

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!

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.
