Check Out The Most Beautiful Trees In The World — Wait Till You See #4!

By The Rainforest Site

Joyce Kilmer was onto something when he wrote, “I think that I shall never see/A poem lovely as a tree.” Trees are a vital part of Earth’s ecosystem. Scientists estimate that our planet contains 3 trillion trees, and these beautiful organisms do many things that help animals and humans. Trees replenish the oxygen in the air, provide homes for animals, give food to countless wildlife and give us building materials for our homes. As you think about the many amazing things trees do, take a look at some of the most lovely examples of trees on Earth.

Every spring as they come out of their winter slumber, beautiful pink blossoms adorn Japanese cherry trees, called “sakura” in Japan. In Washington D.C. and in Japan, this springtime emergence creates a pink carpet from the sky, and people come out to celebrate.
