We want to highlight trees from different parts of the planet that have significant meaning in our worlds history and future. This is a Bodhi Tree, or enlightenment tree. The Bodhi Tree, found at the Mahabodhi Temple, is said to be a descendant of the fig tree under which Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment through a 7 day meditation. There are many other Bodhi Trees across the world also believed to be propagated from the original tree! So today is fig out Friday, enjoy some fresh fruit and get outside to enjoy nature near you and achieve enlightenment π«Άπ³

Continuing our series of significant trees, today is Sequoia Sunday! The tree of the day is the General Sherman tree. Located in Sequoia National Park, estimates put the tree between 2,300-2,700 years old and since 1931 Sherman has held the title for bragging rights as the largest tree in the world by volume! At a whopping 275 feet tall, the circumference of the base of the tree is over 100 feet, which would be enough lumber to build over 120 average sized homes. Fun fact: Containing over one million kilograms (or over 2.2 million pounds) of stored carbon, this tree has been crucial for carbon sequestration throughout Earth's history
