I'd guess a few on this board have seen a number of these trees. I know I have seen perhaps four of them, and hope to see many more. Trees, especially these ancient trees, are so humbling.

Kind of disappointed there are no palms, though. :bummed:

Wonderful photos, I see lots of Baobabs but didn't see any Bristlecone pines, the world's truly oldest trees.

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

The bristlecone pine is #15, on White Mountain, California. Looks like only wood, no green on it in the photo, but it's alive.

And understand, those photos are just small preview of the book.

The yews are cool.

A number grow in front of my brother's Ohio house.

Here's one that's so big and so old it was turned into a little church.

Ah ha, I stand corrected, must have missed it the first time, interesting that it shows no foliage in the photo.

Very interesting. Couldn't believe some off the snarky comments on the artists work in the comments section. People whining because they weren't in color.

I've seen several of those, in Morondava (Baobabs) and Siem Reap (Ficus). I really want to see the Dragon Trees, which - I believe - are not the common Draceana drago, but rather a different species from Socotra off the coast of Yemen and Somalia. Socotra is on my bucket list.
