bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Ten Most Magnificent Trees in the World

All are fantastic! Since the thing that wows me the most about trees is their longevity, the Bristlecone Pines would have to be my fave. Trees that were around a couple thousand years before the civilizations of Egypt. If they could speak, they would tell us whether or not we evolved from the muck or were dropped off here as cattle for the Predator!

I don't know who is the bigger moron; the drunken Lybian who hit the ONLY tree within 250 miles or the SCIENTISTwho cut Prometheus down to retrieve his tool. WHAT A TOOL!

The book Ancient Trees has a story of a Chestnut tree that one of the nobility hid his army inside to launch an attack in England. I guess people live in it now and others have used it as a barn, etc.
