Trees are some of the oldest living things on Earth! 🌍 Some trees, like the bristlecone pine, can live for over 5,000 years! That’s like having a tree that’s older than most civilizations!

Did you know that trees are super helpful in keeping the air clean? 🌬️ They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which is what we breathe! A single mature tree can produce enough oxygen for four people to breathe for a year! 🍃

The tallest tree in the world is a coast redwood named Hyperion! 🌲 It stands at a mind-blowing 379 feet tall—taller than a 30-story building! 😲

Some trees can “talk” to each other! 🌳🌳 When a tree is stressed or under attack by insects, it can release chemicals to warn other trees nearby, helping them prepare to fight off the pests! It’s like a tree warning system!

Not all trees have leaves! 🍂 Conifer trees, like pine and fir, have needles instead of leaves, which helps them stay green all year round, even in winter! ❄️

The oldest known living tree is called Methuselah, and it’s a bristlecone pine that’s about 4,800 years old! 🕰️ It’s been around since the time of ancient civilizations!

Trees are homes to all kinds of animals! 🦉 Many birds, insects, and even mammals, like squirrels 🐿️, live in the branches or under the bark of trees.

Bananas, coconut, and even maple syrup come from trees! 🍌🌴🍁 Trees give us so many delicious treats and ingredients.

Trees can heal themselves! 🌱 If a tree is wounded, it can grow new bark or wood to seal up the injury, kind of like how our skin heals a cut.

The largest tree by volume is a giant sequoia named General Sherman! 🌲 It’s over 275 feet tall and has a trunk that’s 36 feet wide!
