9. Socotra Dragon Tree

This is a really cool tree so I wanted to share it in this blog post.

To me, it sort of looks like a mushroom in tree form.

The Socotra Dragon Tree is also known as the Dragon’s Blood Tree because when it is cut, it looks like it’s bleeding because the sap is red.

18. Oldest Tree

It is believed that the oldest trees are the Great Basin Bristlecone Pines that are known to live for thousands of years.

The oldest one was discovered to be over 5000 years old.

They have a cool, twisty shape to them, perhaps due to the harsh conditions in which they live.

Isn’t it cool how the oldest trees don’t live in a mild climate but instead a cold, harsh, windy environment? Trees are so cool 🙂
