An Aspen grove can cover whole mountain sides. They are one single individual.

[@hopebear06]

It's called clonal because the trees grow up from branches and roots so that every plant is the original organism or is a clone of the original. The oldest example on Earth is a Huon Pine at Lake Johnstone in Tasmania. It covers 15 square kilometers.

[@jamesblossom-y1u]

@@hopebear06 The aspen forest tree is not merely just genetically identical, but also interconnected by roots and rysomes.

[@bunzeebear2973]

Aspens need water so are more likely found in Valleys of mountain ranges where the creeks flow.

As a Californian, I’m lucky to live where the oldest, tallest, and largest tree’s in the world exist. The Bristlecone Pine is the oldest, nearly 5000 years old. The Coast Redwood is the tallest, and the Sierra Redwood, General Sherman tree, is the largest. So this video got that wrong. Standing near the General Sherman is an awe inspiring experience.

If we all planted ONE 1 tree for ourselves AND ONE 1. for any child we have. This Earth would start reversing Climate change...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻...the more green energy, oxygen, shade, rains, animal homes and food for many creatures.... PLEASE PLANT A TREE... .

[@Iamerica-ct2ju]

Funny how so many people still believe in reversing climate change while so called philanthropists say they are reversing it while making it worse. Spraying poison in the air to blot out sun and poison our soil. Getting rid of carbon that is a building block of life. They are carrying out eugenics on an unsuspecting population that believe everything they are told by the people that deceive them. At the height of summer examine where the sun is in the morning, day and sunset. Look due East in the morning and due West at sunset and you will see that the sun will be as far north as at least southern Canada. Now compare that with what we learned in elementary school about where the equator is and it's correlation with the sun. You should come to the realization that it is way off of its normal path. It's not climate change in the way they want you to think. Looks like Pole shift.

[@barneyhall2753]

If the solution was so simple, we would not have the problems we do. One of the reasons Climate Change is such a problem is that there is no simple, single solution. Our impact on it come from multiple parts of our civilisation. We need to adjust many of our current behaviours well beyond such feel good measures to minimise our future impact before we can even consider how we can deal with our contribution since the Industrial Revolution. While we continue to magnify the climate's warming, we reduce our abilty to deal with the consequences in a timely manner.

[@chrismay25]

What most people do not realize is the planet has been going through climate change in its entire history. The Ice age is ending, next is the humid world wide warm climate tue Dinosaurs lived in. There is no stopping mother earth from living her cycles. Humans will adapt with mother earth like we always have.

[@janicejackson2016]

Hear you marcie, you have new people that move into houses and the first thing they want to do and they do cut your trees that have been there for 58 years and never harmed anything what damage to anything they cut them illegally bend the tree becomes endangerment and dies our backyard was a sanctuary unfortunately it was an accentuate from the human beings

[@luckyandgrateful8190]

There are more trees in the northern hemisphere than there was 100 years ago. This is because we use petrochemicals to heat and cook instead of burning wood. CO2 is not a pollutant and is needed for trees to grow. Industrial green houses release compressed CO2 to their plants so to increase yield. CO2 causes plants to need less water and fertilizer and still increases yield.

[@miker8915]

Awesome video ❤thank you for posting 😀

[@jKLa]

There is a coast Redwood in Big Basin Redwoods State Park near Santa Cruz that stands 329' tall a little ways off the trail (visitor's required to stay on trail in the area with tge largest trees). I have seen it and it is incredible! It survived the devastating fire there a few years ago. Most of the Redwoods survived while the majority of the others did not. But even many of the Douglas firs, while appearing dead at first are growing back from the trunks and larger branches. The forest is resilient! Big Basin while not having the very largest indevidual trees, probably has the most impressive easily accesable coast Redwoods anywhere. Big Basin is still only partially open with limmited parking as construction and recovery work continues but the grove with the largest trees is now accessible. The park also has many trees that are over 15' across at the base as well as holding one of the largest old growth Coast Redwood forests (Humboldt Redwoods State Park has the largest) in terms of land area.

[@Gretsch6113]

Yes, I visited Big basin several years ago and I don't know if it is still there but there was a large round slice cut from one of the giant redwood trees the slice was standing on end and you could see the rings, They had aluminum small tags on certain rings, I remember one ring was tagged with " Columbus Discovered America" and one ring was marked with a tag that said " The time of Jesus", so that tree was more than 2000 years old I do have a picture of my brother and I standing inside one of the huge trees at Big Basin.

[@jKLa]

@@Gretsch6113 yes it is still there. Most of he giant Redwoods in Big Basin survived the fire as did even many of the Douglas firs, though a lot of the latter did sucomb. Some of the big Redwoods had their tops burnt off though and others are now basically blackened polls with dead branches but new growth sprouting from their trunk. There are plenty of younger Redwoods that survived as well though many did not make it. But some of the big Redwood trees still have a nice broad if diminished canopy and the very tallest trees are among the most intact. I remember that old slice from a long ago felled giant (from the lumber days of the early 20th century)! Most of the visitors facilities did not make it unfortunately and Big Basin is now only available for day use with limmited parking. Parts of the park are also still closed as rebuilding and ongoing restoration work continues, but much of it is now open and more is being gradually opened again over time.

I don't understand why, when you are describing one of your featured trees, you are showing pictures of other species, When describing a gum tree in Tasmania you show pictures of Redwoods of California. I could not keep up with your descriptions, as I was confused to what I was hearing/ seeing.

[@jKLa]

I hate this! The video shows actual pictures of the described trees but then starts showing other too, and then just showing Sequoias and not the actual trees, -as if they are all interchangeable or they think we are stupid! This is part of a sickening online trend I've been noticing...

Diameter 16 ft at breast height Tunnel 6 ft wide by 6 ft 9 in high Age 2,400 years old Features Unusual limbs that resemble a chandelier, picnic area, gift shop, duck pond, and forest trails Also:: EUREKA, Calif. -- Not one but three giant redwoods offer motorists the opportunity to steer their wheels through a living tree. All are right off US Highway 101, known as the Redwood Highway, within an hour or so drive of the historic seaport of Eureka. These trees are incredible and extremely big.

I have a Tree story. Not mine but belongs to the Pioneers traveling on the Oregon Trail. Pretty much the trees are gone from the landscape following the Columbia River so not to many landmarks. One landmarks was a gigantic Pine Tree on land that is now I 84 and Baker City Oregon. So the Pioneers knew that when they sighted that Pine Tree they were closer to where they were going and out of that steep canyon. So one Pioneer decided to Winter there and needed wood. So instead of going up to the treeline to cut wood he cut down the gigantic Pine tree. Well the Pioneers traveling through were so upset about it they put up a plaque about what happened. And oh what happened you asked?! The people at the Settlement there strung him up and hanged him for cutting down that Pine Tree!! I'm sorry I don't recall the name of the Pine Tree, but you could probably Google it.

I've camped T park of Sequia tres. They are huge one was cut down many years ago it was so big that the lumber jack worked on it all day. One night the tree fell the shook the near by town. Then there was a dance hall build on top of the stump thats how big it was. Sad that trees are being cut down tl build homes and ither building when there are man made materials that could replace the trees.

[@bunzeebear2973]

There is a lot of trees. Sad it is cut down for TP and newsprint. We got fingers and computer spreadsheets. They used to cut down the big ones by 2 man handsaws. Once started the other guy at the other end would not be seen for a week. Cedars were big in west coast Canada too. Logging trucks would carry 1, because cedar is very wet wood...so extremely heavy. Can you imagine before the trucks there were horse drawn wagons? The big ones now sit in a "heritage park" Smaller trees are used because easier to handle and dry out. Equipment changed so now a log goes on a large lathe & rotated to get a large sheet of plywood (instead of planks)(the old way though ship-lap planks are made); and so did 2x16, 2x12,2x10, 2x8,2x6,2x4,2x3, 2x2,2x1,8x8,8x6,6x6,4x4,veneer,mdf board(I call it chip-board, saw dust used to make particleboard sheets (basically sawdust & glue) & basically a tree is used up completely. Not even enough for toothpicks. That is just from the trunk of the tree. Branches are not worth bothering with so are returned to the soil to rot or burn &rot to become dirt again. . Tree planters go in after a couple of years to plant a new forest using seedling. . Man made materials is made either from dirt minerals or tree sap (chemistry) or you live in a hole in the ground where there once stood a tree. Bilbo Baggins You could try STRAW? . Man has found it EASIER TO HANDLE a 30" or so sized trunk than it is to handle something more massive. They do not need to go big when they have "Processing equipment and glues" to hold it together.

I've been planting trees ever since I've had my own property to do as I please with.

Then while my neighbors cut down all their trees because of the amount of leaves that they were producing, I was planting more and didn't mind the raking in the fall. I had the shadiest and coolest yard in the hot summers while my neighbors stayed indoors to keep cool. The two Crimson King maples in the front yard give my house a look of elegance and the biggest one in the neighborhood is in my back yard and it towers over everything. It's a NORWAY spruce and worthy enough to don the grounds of the Rockerfellow plaza in NEW YORK city as the biggest and most awesome XMAS tree ever grown.

In the Gray's Harbor area, in the 1800s, many trees were 20' in diameter, but a few reached 30'. They were so large, they couldn't cut them at the base, they had to cut about 8' up above the ground. Sadly they did not leave even one for future generations. They felled them all. In many cases they removed the stumps as well. Many of the loggers had no plans to stay. Their idea was to make their fortune and go back home, so they cared nothing about the future of the region they were logging. There is no physical legacy, only measurements written in journals, and images by a tiny handful of photographers who documented the loggers.
