FUN Tree Facts!
Trees keep our air supply fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
In one year, an acre of trees can absorb as much carbon as is produced by a car driven up to 8700 miles!
Trees provide shade and shelter, reducing yearly heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars!
Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.
A tree does not reach its most productive stage of carbon storage for about 10 years.
Trees cut down noise pollution by acting as sound barriers.
Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.
The death of one 70-year old tree would return over three tons of carbon to the atmosphere!
Trees are the longest living organisms on earth!
The inside of a tree is made of phloem, cambium, and xylem.
The xylem of a tree carries water from the roots to the leaves.
The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually!
One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year!
One of the tallest soft wood trees is the General Sherman, a giant redwood sequoia of California. General Sherman is about 275 ft or 84 m high with a girth of 25 ft or 8 m.
"Dendrochronology" is the science of calculating a tree's age by its rings.
Moon trees were grown from seeds taken to the moon by Stuart Roosa, Command Module pilot of the Apollo 14 mission of January 31, 1971.
The effort included 400-500 seeds, which orbited the moon on the first few days of February 1971. NASA and the USFS wanted to see if being in space and in the moon's orbit would cause the seeds to grow differently than other seeds.
The smallest “woody plant” in the world is the Dwarf Willow standing only 6 centimeters in height!
"Methuselah" is the world's Oldest Living Tree! It resides in California at over 4,768 years old!!
