The largest tree in the world is a giant sequoia tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum) which is located in California’s Sequoia National Park. It’s been named General Sherman and is considered the largest tree by volume (1,486.6 cubic metres).
Baobab trees are some of the oldest living trees found on Earth. They can withstand droughts and fires and there’s even one that’s estimated to be over 6000 years old!
Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia and produce natural disinfectants which can be toxic in large amounts. Koalas, not surprisingly, have very high tolerance levels which is why it’s also a large part of their diet.
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth and in 30 years can produce 15 times more material than pine trees.
