13 Trees of Splendor and Beauty

[Carmen Elsa Irarragorri Wyland]

Trees have always meant a lot for human civilizations. We've built houses and weapons from their timbers, eaten their fruits, and made all kinds of medicines from their bark and resins. But what surely unites all nature lovers is an admiration for the unique physical characteristics that different trees across the world exhibit to our eyes. Here we've collected images of 13 trees that are so special, so beautiful that many people would doubt that they are even real. The wonderful truth is that magical trees like these really do exist.
