Trees are the longest living organisms on earth.

Trees get about 90% of their nutrition from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide, etc), and only about 10% from the soil.

One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people.

Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30 percent.

A tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as a car produces, driven over 20,000 miles.

A healthy birch tree can produce up to 1 million seeds a year.

An acre of maple trees can put as much as 20,000 gallons of water into the air each day.

Some trees can "talk" to each other. For example, when willows are attacked by webworms and caterpillars, they emit a chemical that alerts nearby willows of the danger. The neighbouring trees then respond by pumping more tannin into their leaves making
it difficult for the insects
to digest them.
