Remarkable Trees of the World

Embarking on a five-year journey, Thomas Pakenham captures the essence of sixty extraordinary trees across temperate and tropical regions. The book highlights a diverse range, from Japan's carefully nurtured dwarfs to India's massive strangler figs and the ancient "Old Methusalehs." Notably, it includes a fresh exploration of North American trees, featuring the majestic Redwoods of Sequoia and Yosemite, the striking Joshua Trees of Death Valley, and the resilient Bristlecone pines of California's White Mountains.
