Nature has repeatedly proven its originality and ingenuity. Luxurious expanses inhabited by unusual animals, meadows with fragrant flowers and medicinal herbs, breathtaking rocky peaks and other wonders surprise and delight people. And the most beautiful trees in the world can make you think about the eternity and solidity of existence.
Vegetation of the American continent
The North American continent is rich in amazing plants. Most of the trees that grow in this area are recognized as the most unusual and beautiful on the planet. However, the most interesting specimens, oddly enough, were created by a man named Axel Erlandson.
The Swedish botanist, based in the United States, created the unique "Circus of Trees". With the help of unique knowledge, Erlandson raised several dozen plane trees, which he gave to unique forms. How the scientist achieved the openwork trunks, unusual vignettes and ramifications is still a secret. It is only known that he never used any building materials to create forms.
More than 70 unique pieces of art from trees have been nurtured by Axel Erlandson. Today, only 25 copies have survived. The new owners carefully transport the "circus performers" with them at each move.
Uniquely beautiful and powerful cypress grows in Oaxaca, Mexico. The diameter of the mighty tree with the beautiful name of Montrezum is about 58 meters. This cypress is the most knotty. If you look at the graceful intricacies for a long time, you can see the muzzles of wild animals.
A park of unique plush pine trees grows in the White California Mountains. It is here that the oldest tree on the planet is located, which was named Methuselah. The spectacular spiral trunk and powerful branches have been contemplating the world for almost 5,000 years.
Notable for its unusual beauty and maple tree in the city of Portland. The huge crown of the tree is striking in its magnificence. Against the green background of its fellows, the Portland maple attracts hundreds of enthusiastic looks with its autumn palette: from purple to pale yellow.
From the world on wood
The most beautiful oak tree in the world is located in Europe, France. The tree is almost a thousand years old, and during this time its diameter has grown to 16 meters. In the 7th century, lightning hit the oak, severely crippling the plant. The French were not at a loss and decided that the blow was a sign from above. In the trunk of a perennial tree, two chapels were built, which are still in use today.
In the list of the most beautiful trees on the planet, the Asian banyan tree is listed for its gorgeous crown, one of the largest in the world. This plant is considered sacred by Hindus and Buddhists. According to legend, it was under his ancestor that Buddha received his sight.
Banyan tree looks very unusual. The tree consists of many roots, not all of which reach the ground. Asians believe that these "tentacles" were created by heaven in order to touch earthly sinners.
The leader of this beauty contest can be safely called the rainbow eucalyptus. The trunk of the tree has a color that is completely unusual for the human eye. Here green, orange, scarlet, acid green and other saturated shades are mixed. "Trees in camouflage" can be found in the territories of Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka.
