Trees are ubiquitous in nature, and because of their abundance, they can appear ordinary. However, among the countless types of trees in the world, there are always a few that possess magical properties.
These trees are either ancient and magnificent or beautiful and amazing, and they always have their own uniqueness.
1. Leaning tree
One of the most unusual attractions in New Zealand and the most stunning natural landscapes is the leaning tree in New Zealand's South Island.
During the growth of these trees, they were constantly blown by strong winds from the Antarctic, causing all the trees to fall to one side and tilt severely. This tree is a symbol of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
2. Giant Sequoias
Giant Sequoias are the tallest tree species in North America and one of the tallest trees in the world. They typically grow in Redwood National Park in California. The tallest Giant Sequoia in the world is named "Hercules Giant Sequoia".
It is 115.7 meters high, more than 7 meters in diameter, and is estimated to be about 2,000 years old. These trees are not only tall and strong but also have a long lifespan, and can live for thousands of years.
Their bark is up to 30 centimeters thick, making them resistant to fire and pests. Due to the trees' height, the hollows of some Giant Sequoias can form small caves, which become habitats for animals and birds.
3. Maple Leaf Avenue, Canada
Maple Leaf Avenue stretches across the two provinces of Ontario and Quebec, connected by Highway 417 and Highway 407, and finally arrives at Niagara Falls.
The total length of Maple Leaf Avenue is 900 kilometers, passing through canyons, rivers, mountains, and lakes along the way. Every October, the entire area is dyed a brilliant red by maple leaves and variegated trees, making it a breathtaking sight to behold.
4. Devil's Forest
The Devil's Forest in Romania is a forest of centuries-old trees. Some trees in the forest have strangely shaped trunks, which are believed to be due to mysterious events that have taken place here.
These trees are regarded as ominous by local residents, forming a mysterious atmosphere. Despite the eerie ambiance, the Devil's Forest serves as an important habitat for various flora and fauna.
5. Dragon tree
The Dragon tree is an ancient evergreen species that grows in the coastal redwood forests of California, USA. They can be up to 80 meters high, more than 7 meters in diameter, and live for more than 3,000 years, making them one of the oldest and largest trees in the world.
