The local people call this tree ต้นผึ้งยักษ์, Giant Bee Tree or Giant Tree. There are several bee nests in the tree. With a height of up to 40 meters and several hundred years old, this tree belongs to the Moraceae family. The Ficus albipila is a rainforest tree, a type of fig tree native to Thailand and Southeast Asia. Ficus albipila is commonly known as the "Elephant Ear Fig" or "White Fruited Fig." This species is characterized by its large, heart-shaped leaves, which resemble elephant ears, and its white fruits. The leaves have striking veins and the fruits turn from green to white when ripe. Ficus albipila is a strangler fig, meaning it often begins life on other trees and eventually encircles and strangles its host tree as it develops. Ficus albipila is well adapted to tropical climates. It plays an important ecological role as a food source for various animals, including birds and mammals, that feed on its fruits. The tree's dense foliage also provides habitat and shelter for wildlife. The Gaint Bee tree is located on the Wa River in Wiang Sa District, Nan Province.

Met een hoogte van wel 40 meter en enkele honderden jaren oud behoort deze boom tot de familie Moraceae. De Ficus albipila, is een regenwoudboom, een soort vijgenboom afkomstig uit Thailand en Zuidoost Azië. Ficus albipila is algemeen bekend als de Elephant Ear Fig of White Fruited Fig. Deze soort wordt gekenmerkt door zijn grote, hartvormige bladeren, die lijken op olifantenoren, en zijn witte vruchten. De bladeren hebben opvallende nerven en de vruchten verkleuren van groen naar wit als ze rijp zijn. Ficus albipila is een wurgvijg, wat betekent dat hij zijn leven vaak begint op andere bomen en uiteindelijk zijn waardboom omsingelt en wurgt terwijl hij zich ontwikkelt. Ficus albipila is goed aangepast aan tropische klimaten. Het speelt een belangrijke ecologische rol als voedselbron voor verschillende dieren, waaronder vogels en zoogdieren, die zich voeden met zijn vruchten. Het dichte gebladerte van de boom biedt ook leefgebied en beschutting voor dieren in het wild. De Gaint Bee tree ligt aan de Wa rivier in Wiang Sa District, Nan Province.

The ancient ‘Cypress of Abarkooh’ is one of the oldest known trees in the world with an estimated age of 4000 years. It is located in the town of Abarkooh, Yazd province, Iran. It was already well-known in the 13th century AD as the historian ‘Mostofi’ referred to it as a ”world famous” tree. This gigantic, well-formed tree is a listed natural heritage in Iran and attracts many visitors to the area.
I had an opportunity to photograph it from within its protected surrounds. This is a sight not many people can see.

This old tree caught my eye in Taminick, Victoria, Australia this afternoon.

The region of Maestrat. La Salzadella (Castellón/Spain).
La comarca del Maestrat es extraordinariamente rica en olivos milenarios, monumentales, que constituyen en conjunto uno de los más preciados elementos del patrimonio histórico, cultural y vegetal del norte de Castelló. Ya conocemos sus características: olivos de la variedad "Farga", con troncos descomunales cuyo perímetro a 1'30 m. del suelo oscila entre los 5 y 9 metros, y cuyas edades se cifran entre los 1.000 y 2.000 años. En cualquier caso siempre constituyen los más antiguos y genuinos monumentos, todavía vivos, que hunden sus raíces en nuestro pasado protohistórico directamente relacionado con la cultura de los pueblos mediterráneos como el fenicio, el griego y el romano.
The Maestrat region is extraordinarily rich in ancient, monumental olive trees, which together constitute one of the most precious elements of the historical, cultural and plant heritage of the north of Castelló. We already know its characteristics: olive trees of the "Farga" variety, with enormous trunks whose perimeter is 1.30 m. of the ground ranges between 5 and 9 meters, and whose ages are between 1,000 and 2,000 years. In any case, they always constitute the oldest and most genuine monuments, still alive, that have their roots in our protohistoric past directly related to the culture of Mediterranean peoples such as the Phoenician, Greek and Roman.

I found this grand old tree whilst walking on a fresh and crisp winter's morning. I took this picture using a Nikon D3400 and 50mm lens.
The Thousand-Year-Old Tree of Wonju. There is another shot of this tree somewhere in my stream. It is a beautiful thing to behold. It survived the fierce fighting of the Korean War and all the other wars over that last millennia. I wonder how many times in its life someone with an axe in his hand greedily eyed this lovely tree.
Although the locals knew the age of this tree, no one could tell me the species. If, by looking at this photo anyone has a clue or a guess as to the species I'd sure like to hear about it.
I have pretty much eliminated oak due to the leaf shape.

Autumn is just beginning. The cool breeze makes the leaves dance. Soon the trees will be bare, showing their branches.
I like to look at the trees. They all tell a story. I am fascinated by the form that some have acquired, shaped by time and sometimes by man. What I also appreciate is the bewitching silence of the forest. Some birds try to make themselves noticed. Who will make the most beautiful melody ?
At nightfall, a hoarse sound breaks the silence. The deer roars. A fascinating sight ...
