Stubborn trees who refuse to give up no matter what

Trees are pretty amazing. They’ve been on Earth for 370 million years. From the redwoods of California to the Tree of Tenere, they’ve long fascinated humans. Some, like the redwoods are respected for their size — some of them big enough to drive a car through. Others, like the Ashbrittle Yew, are famous because of their long history — already old when Stonehenge was built.
As humans, we have an important relationship with trees. In return for creating oxygen for us, we support them. It’s estimated there are about 3.04 trillion trees in the world. Of those, there may be as many as 100,000 different species that account for 25 percent of all plant life on Earth.
One of the reasons trees have such a long lifespan is their ability to adapt to their environment, some even growing after they’ve been chopped down or uprooted. Here are 60 trees that refused to give up even in the harshest conditions.


This palm tree fell over but wasn’t bothered in the slightest. It just curved back up and like a trooper, continued growing.



This tree was planted in a narrow box of soil and surrounded by pavement. But it refused to stay in its box. Instead, its roots crisscrossed the sidewalk.



This tree was on a ledge too far away from adequate nutrients. So, it came up with a plan: grow its roots across to the mainland, where there was plenty of water.



Many decades ago, a man hung his ice skates on this tree and forgot about them. He rediscovered them in his old age and was amazed at how the tree adapted.



When someone left an old piano in the woods, this tree wasn’t about to be deterred. It just continued to grow — straight up through the keys.



This tree was growing alongside a fence. Come to find out, paper beats metal. The result looks similar to a face that’s chowing down on the rail.



This is a little unnerving until you realize what it is: the tree grew around a statue, making it look like a person’s trapped inside. Okay, maybe it’s still unnerving.



This tree barely has any ground underneath it — you can see half its roots dangling in the air. You’d think it couldn’t grow at all.



This tree grew straight up around a fire hydrant. It’s a testament to how safe the neighborhood’s been, I guess. Hopefully, they never need that hydrant.



This tree might just hold a record for the number of extra trees grown from a single trunk. It fell over and grew seven new trees. Take that, Mother Nature.



We’ve learned that trees growing on top of silos is a lot more common than initially thought. This one looks eerily like an enormous carrot, thanks to the color of the silo.



This tree’s roots had to adapt to unusually rocky soil, and the result is pretty cool. Is it just me or does it look like it’s walking across the sand?
