Fascinating trees

My sister sent me an email that had these unusual trees.

The dragonblood tree earned its fearsome name due to its crimson red sap, which is used as a dye and was used as a violin varnish,

an alchemical ingredient, and a folk remedy for various ailments.

The rainbow eucalyptus, which grows throughout the South Pacific, is both useful and beautiful.

It is prized for both the colorful patches left by its shedding bark and for its pulpwood, which is used to make paper.

President, located in Sequoia National Park in California, stands 241 ft. tall and has a ground circumference of 93 ft.

It is the third largest giant sequoia in the world (second if you count its branches in addition to its trunk).

Look closely to see the man in the yellow jacket climbing up.
