1. Trees “talk” to each other!
Through underground fungal networks (often called the “Wood Wide Web”), trees can share nutrients and even send warning signals about pests.
2. The oldest living tree is over 4,800 years old.
Named Methuselah, this ancient bristlecone pine in California started growing around 2830 BC!
3. Trees help keep the planet cool.
They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen — one large tree can provide a day's supply of oxygen for up to four people.
4. Bamboo is technically a grass, but it’s the fastest-growing “tree.”
Some species can grow up to 35 inches (almost 1 meter) in a single day!
5. Trees never die of old age alone.
They usually die from disease, insects, or environmental damage rather than simply aging out.
6. The tallest tree on Earth is named Hyperion.
This coast redwood in California measures over 379 feet (115 meters) tall — taller than the Statue of Liberty!
7. Some trees “sleep” at night.
Research shows certain trees relax or droop their branches slightly after sunset, as if resting.
8. Tree rings tell climate history.
By studying the patterns of rings inside a tree trunk, scientists can learn about past droughts, volcanic eruptions, and other events.
9. Some trees grow fruit that can weigh more than you!
The jackfruit can weigh up to 100 pounds (45 kg), making it the world’s largest fruit that grows on a tree.
10. Planting trees really helps fight climate change.
One mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds (22 kg) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year.
