~Circus tree~

Axel Erlandson was a pioneer in tree shaping, or taking living trees and making them grow into artworks. He was a farmer in California and began this hobby in 1925. He opened a tourist attraction in 1947 called The Tree Circus , where he transplanted his tree sculptures. Many of his trees still exist, although Erlandson died in 1964.

 Fantastic Dark Hedges

"This group of trees known locally as ‘the dark hedges’ are thought to be around 300 years old. Capture as the first rays of the sun burst through the trees and lifted the fog to created this wonderful mood and corridor of light."

Located in the Giant Forest of the National Park in United States, this tree that is known as the German Sherman (funnily enough considering that it is in the US) is more than 250 feet tall and is like 2500 years old! The largest branch of this tree was broken in 2006 but that did not change the title of the tree as the largest tree in the world! The circumference of the base of the tree trunk is an amazing 102 feet! Seeing is believing in this case!

A Dragon’s Blood Tree!
