TREES NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST

A tree that grows itself (white oak). The parent of this tree dried up, but left behind sprouts. His son grew up from them.

The loneliest tree on the planet is the Tenere tree (acacia). There is not another tree within a radius of 250 miles. Sahara Desert, Africa. The tree was broken by a drunken Libyan driving a truck.

Now in the place of this tree there is a monument.
