A single mature tree can lift a whole bathtub of water from the ground and pump it into the air every day… through pure physics and leaf magic. That’s one tree quietly running its own personal waterfall, cooling the planet, making rain, and giving us free AC.

There are so many acorns, conkers and sycamore seeds around now, schools could do educational projects gathering and planting. @Woodland @NotJustCastles @treesforlifeuk

Trees are not "for us." They are just the way they are.

I have a park in front of my house with 84 year old trees. The air quality right now is good, but other days it is not due to beltway traffic. These trees are working overtime to help me breathe.

Tree of life. Absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into atmosphere.

Surely the climate activists view this as a terrible water use? When a cow uses less than this and pisses it into the soil they want to kill all the cows. It's a beautiful tree btw.

👍But sure, keep cutting them down to build car parks. Or data centres.

But corporates can’t make any money out of that process….

One of the best carbon sinks mother nature has ever devised. Save your future and reduce the carbon footprint by plant trees when you're young and able, don't wait until you're too old to see them bear fruit or we'll all regret it later.

Not to mention sequester carbon - did you know that half the dried weight of trees is carbon sucked out of the atmosphere?

This is why oak trees shouldn’t be planted every 20’ along Houston streets. The trees dry out the clay beneath the streets, the clay shrinks and the concrete slabs crack, heave and buckle which creates unsustainable street repair budgets and property tax increases. @KHOU @KTRHNEWS @KPRC2 @houmayor

The microbes on the lead surface make rain, too. Nature is beautiful and amazing.

this is the most tree loving post I have every read and thank you as trees are so much more than we can even concieve they even sing to all of nature we can't hear it except in the leaves in the wind like crystals tuning the night air I love trees birds come rest I love trees x

Exactly! All those activists out there screaming global warming should take all that laundered money and plant trees. The "problem" practically cancels itself. Instead they'd rather burn forests to prove their point

The best part is there is no pump anywhere. Evaporation at the leaf pulls the whole column, so the water rides up under negative pressure and stays metastable the entire way.

A large oak tree can transpire around 151,000 liters during the growing season. Physics and plant physiology at work.

In #Rome, there is a destructive mayor who has torn out more than 100,000 healthy, strong, centuries-old trees.
