I love how the thumbnail wasn't click bait
And they gave us more too

Lol m2
Willow S... 😅☺️🤔
Finally a video that shows the picture in the thumbnail first instead of making you wait until the end of the video to show what the thumbnail picture was about! Bravo.
Your comment needs more likes, lol.
IKR?? I didn't realize they did it at first because I skipped to the end looking for it (derp)
@@jeffsmith9384 🤣👍
That rainbow eucalyptus is a truly beautiful tree. It really is that colourful in real life👍
Fa real huh
I've always liked the Rainbow Eucalyptus. I feel that if you try to model this in 3d that everyone would say it doesn't look real even though it is a very real tree.
We have that thing in our school and when I first saw it, I thought it was fake like plast or something.
I was happily surprised when this was not a clickbait video, and also appreciate that they started with the tree in the thumbnail. Plus, I learned something and enjoyed the video so thanks 😊
Yes, what a pleasant gift!!
The Rainbow Eucalyptus is my very favorite!
But some pictures are to much photoshop.
I’ve seen them in Maui
I've never seen one before I couldn't believe my eyes why don't we have these down in Aus
@@wasupdoc1738 maybe u do up by Darwin area.
That’s just a guess on my part
me too!
I have a Japanese maple right outside my window! I planted it about 10 years ago. It is beautiful!
I want it too
Bet it isn't blue, though. (Because there aren't any blue ones - the creator of this video is a gullible fella, fooled by a simple photoshop job.)
Good girl
You can find the Japanese cherry tree (sakura blossom tree) in many places in Hungary, too; they are wonderful in springtime. Sometimes they blossom before they even grow leaves after winter.
We have the Rainbow Eucalyptus and Banyan trees all over here in Hawaii.
Jacaranda too
I have to say I am without a doubt very much jealous 😂😂😂
I've often wondered if the rainbow tree would grow in Oklahoma 🙃
But its native to philippine, indonesia and paoua newguini
I bought a Rainbow Etc several years ago, here in FL. It didn't make it. My dreams....crushed.
I stay in Pretoria, South Africa. During spring the whole town will just be painted with Jacaranda flowers. Such a beautiful experience.
That is nature rolling the purple carpet to residents the city. Nature honoring the human specie. Even the red carpet of hollywood can compare this divine honor.. Nature make it in different style, Flowers Carpet
Beautiful! Wanted to hug every single tree for their uniqueness and beauty. Thanks for thr close up shots too!
Hug the one with those thorns too?
I’m from the Philippines and never seen the rainbow tree. So I went to google and it’s a native from Mindanao and I am from Luzon.
Very far... gehehehe. Glad to
Know though. Thank u!
@pantscaughtdown yup! I totally agree! Cheers 🥂 happy new year 👏🏽🙏🏽❤️👼💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🥂
Jhunified With Love ...I’m form the Visayas Region and ive seen it personally in Leyte.
@@willylo4090 that’s really cool... Very interesting indeed... 👏🏽👼💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽❤️
I don't even know that that tree existed
If until now, di mo pa xa nakikita just go to the Ayala Triangle and you will see them planted there. Bagras ang tawag namin sa Mindanao.
Kapak trees are found in India too. I've used the cotton fluff in pillows, blanket and mattress.
There was one growing close to a school I went to as a boy in my country Suriname. I saw it bloom once, and the whole neighborhood was covered in the soft cotton that floated from its 30+ meter high branches
@@warpnin3 the species is found everywhere then. And true with that fluff everywhere. It sticks to every surface and is a pain to get it out of your hair and your schoolbag.
@@mika_ed_ginger Can you turn it into a yarn, like cotton or it's not suitable for that?
Willow and bottlebrush should be on the list too.They are stunning beautiful with their weeping branches!
The bleeding tree sounds like a creepy pasta. Like something you would find near the mystery flesh pit
Rainbow tree should be number one. That was super cool. God is the best Artist.
Nah fam, that's mother nature's work.

@@kirara2516 mothe earth forgive me I’m bout bust
@@Scrub_Lord-en7cq you wanna explain that in better English please?
Who??
Wow! Stunning trees! Nature is just gorgeous 😍🥰
there is a large conservatory in Arizona dedicated to the rainbow trees, worth a visit. I loved it but was only able to visit once. Not enough time to see all the beauty. Wish I could remember the name of it but it is within driving distance of Tucson. Go see enjoy wonder.
Iiuuiiiiiuiii
i love you
It's in the Petrified national forest in Arizona. They are ancient rainbow trees. Its called rainbow forest. Petrified Forest National Park is located in northeastern Arizona, about 50 miles from the New Mexico border on Interstate 40.
Thanks for the tip! I'd love to see that!
I adore all of these! They are amazing representations of nature's diversity and adaptability for survival.
I'm amazed with the sizes and ages! How fortunate are we to be surrounded by such beautiful strength?😀
Hopefully, we change our ways early enough to prevent the permanent loss of any of these trees. Our children & grandchildren deserve to experience everything nature has to offer ❤🌺
Take care & stay safe everyone!
Agree 🤞🏼
Hi, I couldn't agree with you more... I can feel this intense change that has me very scared of what's coming... I've had this feeling for the last couple years but now it's so obvious and intrusive... We all need to stop whats destroying the Earth!! This is no longer another generations problem!!! If we all hadn't have thought this way 20 years ago this "ending" wouldn't have to happen!!! I know there are probably millions who feel this way but I feel so alone and like I'm not doing enough... Thx for your post... Be safe everyone!!
@@LTJC70 you nor all your predecessors put together would ever have been able to do enough as opposed to a single military 'operations'/kabooms & there have been millions if not trillions in the past few decades
God is amazing isnt he. All glory goes to Jesus Christ
Красота природы безгранично. ❤❤❤
Do not park under a flowering Blue Jacaranda. They exude a sticky material that even makes your shoes stick to the sidewalk. They are pretty though.
We have jacaranda all over Southern California. They’re QUITE messy, but also very beautiful. Many streets have them on both sides and they’ve grown to meet in the middle as a stunning purple canopy over the streets. Amazing. 🥰
Only nature can create such beauties .
Amen.
And Awomen.
What’s the wo for?
The Bristlecone Pine is my favorite pick. It's amazing how every tree looks so different from one another.
Have you seen the PBS special on the bristlecone pine? It's got some wonderful poetry and it's deeply touching bristlecone's are indeed the absolute s***.
As a horticulturist,and worked with plants nearly all my life...I am still in awe of the Baobab tree.I hope to visit Madagascar one day,and I know of a seed company that has seed for sale.Now that I'm retired I may start some!
Start a nursery of them! Then you can have them close to home!
Hurry up and get to it, gotta watch them babies grow!
It would have been interesting if the scientific name for these species of trees were mentioned. The "bunion tree" (Ficus clusiifolia) is very invasive and destructive, and can knock down retention walls, or abandoned buildings. I have just removed four juvenile individuals growing on top of a rock in my house (don't worry nature lovers, I planted 148 trees in the same week) and it was a tremendous amount of work. Had I done it 15 years before it would have been easy. And in 15 years from now virtually impossible
BANYAN
Apparently so can bamboos take over.
I've actually had experience with all but 3 of these trees, who woulda thought it. Most of them I experienced in AZ where the Boyce Thompson Aboretorium has a full forest of the Rainbow Eucaliptus Trees. Worth a visit.
I too live in Arizona. We're did you see the rainbow trees?
@@tabethapacion7137 boyce thompson aboretorium. It is state park somewhere between Phoenix and Tucson. you need to wonder around in the back part of the park. there is an old cabin that is off limits because snakes gather there but the rainbow trees are near the old cabin.
@@shirleyhirschfeld3735 wow ok. Not going due to covid-19. But will put it on my bucket list.😷📝
I'm envious...lol!
I was enticed by unique beauty of the rainbow eucalyptus tree. It looks like a mystic tree
It is so amazing to see that the Kapok has thorns all over its trunk. In Malaysia we have Kapok where we harvest the fluff for stuffing our pillows ... and the trunks have no thorns!
There is so much beauty in nature!! I love this vid. Its absolutely stunning !!
I had a Jaboticaba tree on my backyard, and the fruits are delicious, but they were more common around Fall.
While many of these trees are amazing i am mind blown how you could not include the African Purple Heart Tree, this tree is BEYOND amazing, when you cut the wood it turns the BRIGHTEST purple you have ever seen and can be used to make furniture and flooring, ornaments, so much stuff, it is an EXQUISITE tree and can only be found in Africa.
I'm a lady who would love to chase rainbows and it is strange to see trees in rainbow color. Simply amazing creation.
I want to hug every single one of those! May God Protect them All 🙏♥️
Even the ones covered in spiderweb?
@Gorgon Don edge
@@Shazoo1997 And thorns?
Yes, I bet he would. I would.
Of these, I think the Baobab and Sakura Blossom are the most 'known'... although I'll admit I didn't know much about the Baobab other than its name. The proliferation of Anime and other Japanese media throughout the world has probably made Sakura Blossoms relatively famous
"spider trees" was a bit of a cop out
So true, sakura are very well known. The Mastiha tree should be in this list instead!
yeah are spider trees not actually a species of tree? is it just any tree that's covered in a thick layer of webbing?
We have flamboyant tree here in India (west bengal) too both the red yellow varieties.. and yeah some blue Jacaranda 😍
These tree looks so cool I can't believe they exist
They do exist, I have seen all but 3 of them.
I've been to Oahu. They exist there and also on Maui and more than likely, the other Islands also. My daughter lives in Mililani on the island of Oahu so I have been there and have seen these trees. :o) Here's another fact. The city of Honolulu actually surrounds Waikiki and the whole island of Oahu is in Honolulu County and a bit beyond. All I have to do is get the plane ticket and the rest of my vacation is free (sort of)!! :o)
The "Monkey Puzzle" Tree is the oddest tree I've seen. We had one when I lived on the isle of Mull, in the Hebrides, on Loch Na Lathaich
WOW....... Where you Live sounds like Scotland,
what a Beautiful Place. My GrandFather came from Scotland
he had a way with words that My GrandMother had to Translate
for me I Will Never forget. And My GrandMother was CHEROKEE
Tho I Only had 2 Holidays with them as a Child I Always wanted to
know more about them, what Life was like in Scotland btwn 1900
thru 1920. Thats when he came to the U.S. to Colorado & Met My
GrandMother & a cpl of yrs later my Father was Born.
If you are Indeed from Scotland I Bet you must Talk the same way,
what a Wonderful place it must be. My Grand Parents were together
more then 51 yrs & had 4 Children From there LOVE of each other.
I am Proud to be pt. Scottish & Native to. lmao.....what a Crazy MAD
STEW of DNA That I AM. HAHAHA...
Its a Pleasure to right to a REAL Scotts Man thank you SIR.
Monkey trap trees are there in Ooty, south India..
The flamboyant trees are very common in the Caribbean and so beautiful to see
My favorite was also #15. Gorgeous! Would love to have one.
Thats what happens when you bury skittles
lol
Ha ha best comment I've read today!!😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Winner!!
Lol I gotta pay that one. Nice call Trenton.
😅
The jabuticaba (a.k.a. Brazilian Grapes) may indeed grow in Mexico, but it's native to Brasil, in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and others. The word itself is from the Tupi words jabuti (tortoise) and caba (place).
It's even more delicious than blueberries, and I love blueberries!
THANK YOU
@@liviamoraes1272 I miss jabuticaba, haven't been to Brazil in forever
So different, and beautiful. My mother loved trees. She planted fruit trees in our yard.
Nature is beautiful and thanks for your collection
Never saw these kinds of trees before they almost look alien
That rainbow 🌈 tree 🌳 is amazing so beautiful
Pretty sure that bristlecone pine is the oldest living SINGLE organism. There’s another one that if I remember correctly is about 8000 years old but it’s because the whole forest is 1 tree that makes clones of itself via roots, so they’re all connected.
Thats Pando, in southern Utah.
All these trees just show Jehovah 's marvelous hands of creation.
It's actually Old Tjikko in Sweden , a spruce that's 9550 years old.
I think there are creosote bushes that are older.
@@esthermumba8293 you trippin
I love this!!! Makes me want to plant all of them!!!
When I first saw that rainbow tree I thought it's just a tree covered with layers of special paint and people just couldn't help but strip the paint for fun and thus repaint the tree again
God enjoys variety, and these trees are good examples of such.
It would be nice if he had left a clue as to what tree gopher wood once was. Like is it still around just called something else or did it die out. Yes he likes variety but I've always been curious about that one
@@robbiemckenzie100
Some theologians say it could have been some type of Cyprus tree that was fibrous in nature and may have died out as the result of the flood... due to the ravages all that swirling water produced on human, animal, and nature alike. It was a *VERY* chaotic moment to be sure.
@@robbiemckenzie100 We could organize an expedition up Mt Ararat to settle that question once and for all
5:10 Surprised you didn't mention the red coral bark maple 🍁 it's truly a magical tree to behold especially against snow. Great video
This was absolutely mind blowing, amazing and very interesting. You taught me so much new information that I consider very valuable. You did an extremely good job with views and coverage! Thank you so much!
What a fascinating and lovely video, thank you for sharing it! I love them all, especially #1, because of the tradition it brings!
i am fond of many of the Japanese fir trees .... their beauty and the varieties leave me in a magical state of wonder
The Davidson Plum tree from Far North Queensland in Australia has fruit that grows on the trunk and i think you should have included the Wollemi Pine in your list also.
Wow, the rainbow tree is one I would love to grow in my compound
Do it
Cannot believe the Strangler Fig didn't make the list. I guess we are lucky to have so many amazing trees that the list would go on and on.
The banyan is a kind of strangler tree.
Wow. Loved it.
Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoyed all the trees history. All of them are gorgeous.
Every year my husband and I plant one or two trees, this year we planted a weeping cherry tree that is so beautiful and covered in bees always! Last year we planted a cherry tree and 2 apple trees oh and a plum tree!
There is a book by Beth Moon called Ancient Trees Portraits in Time. Absolutely worth every dime! I have had it for years and still thumb through it a lot.
I really thought this was a Clickbait clip video. They show you the rainbow eucalyptus which I had no idea was real. So I’ll give this a giant recommendation of a good channel to subscribe to. I really thought it was fake. I was wrong ! Thank you
Apparently the "Blue Japanese Maple Tree" is a fake though.
Gg
Fggghh
The Rainvow Eucaliptus Tree I've seen a lot of them in Phil.😅
it was 100% all real
The rainbow eucalyptus is definitely real they have them in Hawaii i have seen them in person. I lived there for 3 years and never knew what there name was until this video.
The rainbow eucalyptus looks like a colourful abstract painting🖌. So beautiful.👍❤
The Handkerchief Tree is so awesome.
Thank you for mentioning the Jacaranda trees in Pretoria. They don't just grow in Pretoria, you can find them in many other parts in South African. Also just wanted to point out the the narrator mispronounced the following words: Jacaranda, Boaba and Madagascar. The cotton tree (tree no 7) on your list does not just grow in Western Africa we have them growing here in South Africa.
Blue jacaranda grows here in England aswel 👍🏻
I'd been watching videos about the most amazing sights around the world, so while the thumbnail looked absolutely unbelievable, part of me was like "yeah, I could see that existing". But I was still doubtful until I saw this video. That is one amazing tree. I wish I lived in a more interesting place than the flattest of flatlands that are the Midwest of the United States... T_T
Kansas?
Nature is amazing, I will never stop loving it. 🌳☀️
💚💚💚 Beautiful
Can agree to the popularity of Japanese Maple. In landscaping, I've planted many at various properties along the Maine coast U.S. Quite opposite sides of the globe.
And so many more not mentioned like the pink wisteria, the Xmas gum, the 40fruits tree, Japanese maple, pink arcasia, ghost aspin and so many more beautiful trees. Must make part two
I agree
I need to get googling!
The Sakura tree is my favorite, I love looking at it.
Wonderfully done, ty.
I clicked this video after looking at the beautiful rainbow tree..
Never heard about jabuticaba in Mexico, but in Brazil they are very common. Actually my mother have one in her backyard and we have around 10 in our country house. It's so common that a town close to mine (Sabará city) host jabuticaba festivals every year, selling the fruit, wine, jelly, juice and baby trees. You can even "rent" a tree and spend the day in a "pic-nic" style with your family, having the trees to catch the fruit as much as you want. In my town, when is jabuticaba time, people sell it on the streets and it's very cheap (like 1kg by cents of a dollar). I believe it's a Brazilian tree, actually. In native "tupi-guarani" language branch the word for our tortoises is "jabuti" and as it was a usual hunt for the natives and these animals love the fruits of such trees, "jabuticaba" means "the place where you may find tortoise" or "tortoise village". The tree in itself is very pretty and is home for many birds and insects. Just like Jacaranda, a Brazilian tree. But jabuticaba is not from Amazon areas, but from other biomas in Brazil like the cerrado, Atlantic forests, caatinga, etc. Since it's seeds are spread by many different animals, it can be found naturally in Cerrado and Atlantic forests areas close to water. It demand a good source of water to flourish and make fruits. They grow even in the exposed roots of the trees. Happy it's a number 2 in the list. But we have some trees in Amazon that was used as a communication device! You may need a bigger list, i guess.
You're right, the info of the video is wrong. Jabuticaba is native to the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. The name gives a hint as it comes from the tupi language family, which is very different from the aztecan language family, native to Mexico.
Great Channel! So glad I found it! 👏👏
Rainbow eucalyptus trees can be seen on the island of Maui. As well as the Jacarandas up towards Haleakala and Banyon trees in La Hina
One tree, much stranger than these fifteen is the sausage tree, which originates from Africa but grows now also in India and other semitropical environments. It grows very rapidly; long vines, up to five meters, hang down from the branch and a chandelier arrange of royal purple flowers blossom at the end of the vine. The blossoms open at night and fall in the morning. When fertilized, a huge sausage-shaped pod develops, up to 80cm long and 15cm in diameter.

You better say that !! It's going to be beautiful
What if Earth is the only heaven.
@@harshalpatil1209 It is not. It is the terrestrial Garden God gave us for our terrestrial and short lives.
I just can't believe that the best tree on the list was number 15...like what?!
Amy Maynard I’m glad because that’s the only one I want to see.
Yes, Number 15 Was The Most Unique Tree But They Had To Use It As Click Bait To Gain More Views! YT Is A Very Good Income,, That Doesn't Require Too Much Effort!!!
Its really is beautiful that rainbow eucalyptus..we have in BAGIOU CITY..i even have picture with that tree..
Totally agree with you. There is one Rainbow Eucalyptus in Miami’s Fairchild Garden and I make a point of checking on it everyday I go there. It is beautiful and the bark is so smooth and soft it feels like the skin of a person.
Your Gorgeous 😘Amy Maynard😘😍❤️
I would have liked this video a few more times, great stuff
Absolutely beautiful!!
We have a rainbow tree planted as school fence...
I know you didn’t look this video up
I did.
Incredible so beautiful thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
The purple jacaranda we have in our back yard
Very interesting. Have you ever seen an Antarctic Beech tree? They are massive. There is a clump of them growing in the Border Ranges National Park in NSW, Australia. It's a long time since we visited, so I am assuming they are still there.
fore real. by far the most interesting tree on the list. the whole list seems to be made in reverse of the order it should be in.
Excellent & mysterious information hat's off & thanks.. Nature is beautiful & wonderful,👌👌
Great video I watched to the end very fascinating
OMFG did anyone else just DIE when he said there was a variety of Japanese Maple with "light blue" leaves ??? I'm actually in tears what is this video 😭😂😂
Badly researched, is what this video is. There is no tree of any species that has blue leaves. You can get blue flowers, and sort of bluish/greyish green conifer needles, but never leaves. Although that doesn't stop enterprising con artists from selling "blue maple seeds" on Amazon, but how gullible would you have to be to think that that's real? Anyone interested enough in gardening to want a "rare" (=non-existent) Japanese maple will have learned enough about them to know Japanese maples don't grow true to type from seed - they have to be grafted. Like apples. So even if a blue variety existed, you couldn't get it from seed. But it doesn't, because, er, something something, biology, not possible, etc.
@@austenhead5303 wow exactly. I was shocked that he would ever even claim that there is an existing deciduous tree with blue leaves at all 😂 but i would say yes, the blue spruce is the only thing I can think of that even comes close 🤦 but damn , being into horticulture myself , I would pay my life savings to see a blue leafed Japanese maple 🙈 if only..
That's a wonderful top something video, which has become a rarity. All those trees exist, no internet myths here, each single one was shown from more than one single blurry photograph (which often turned out to befake).
The only thing I miss is actually one tree: The Ginkgo Biloba. It has such unusual leaf shape, that turns into a deep golden color in autumn. The seeds are kinda big and edible.
The special thing about that tree is not its looks though. It is the very last descendant of tree family species that has been dated back as far as 200,000,000 years ago (yes, 200 million years). Back in the day it used to grow nearly all over the norhtern hemisphere, with countless variations and sub species, and nowadays it only grows naturally in 2 areas in China, but cultivated diligently in Japan and for some time also in other parts of the world. It is, as far as known, the oldest tree species that is still 'alive', a living fossil.
It also has medicinal properties and makes a good tea. Would kinda like to try the fruits but have never been brave enough. They grow only in parks here and the fruit isn't sold commercialy.
OMG...so very awesome.
Yeah excellent video...And it is real...
If you have a good deal of land in an area of average rainfall, plant the japanese laceleaf maple. They do come in many colors as they say here and really require little to no attention. They grow in a huge very dense mound-like shape, sideways a little more so than upwards, and they're very valuable as they're highly sought after by upscale homeowners and therefore by professional landscapers. I bought a garnet red (deeper than blood red) Japanese laceleaf maple and planted it in my new wife and my townhouse's front yard planning to transplant it to the center of the front yard as it grew. One fellow stopped and asked if we were interested in selling it for a pretty large sum about 15 years into its life. I should have take him up on the offer as my mindless wife divorced me and has just been arbitrarily hacking away at it as it impedes on the front steps. What a tragedy. It had been so beautiful. I should have asked for possession of it in our divorce settlement. However, they usually require little to no care and do not prune them! They are beautiful and can be a great, no care investment over about a 20 - 25 year time period. Plant a number of them each year as they're pretty cheap when only about 12 -18 inches tall. They truly make a reliable, legal and very rewarding cash crop and will supplement your retirement portfolio very nicely. Keep an eye on them but they really just grow with no upkeep needed. Also, remember when buying them to get and keep written purchase receipts in your name.
Regrets ..... you have a few ..... but then again .....
