Oak trivia: The mighty oak is actually monoecious, meaning it it is both male and female. Certain People trivia: "DID YOU JUST ASSUME 'S GENDER" is the only joke and indeed the only thing Certain People know about gender.
Here’s a little story about trees. Once when I was in middle school, my teacher had the great idea that our class would plant 10.000 trees. Now keep in mind that this was in Denmark, were we like to think of ourselves as the most green place in the world. Everything went fine and we planted every single tree with the help of a ‘tree expert’. That was 12 years ago, not a single tree survived, they made the terrible mistake of putting the planting grounds right next to a large playground. I still venture over to the park once in a while with my best friend, just to look at the tree graveyard.
Giordano Bruno depends on the size of the explosion generated. A tsar bomba, you just need general vicinity, and you’ll be good. A bomb like little boy or fat man tho, you’ll need to be decently accurate
Absolutly no one: Every single science youtuber right now: "Have you heard of Trees?" Edit: Alright, you all wanted it, so here it is: The 'c' that was missing from sience. Also, this is the most completly arbitraty Internet Points I ever got on a comment!
The fact that the first ever tree that owned itself was struck down by a storm is probably the tree equivalent of an urban legend about humidity and not flying too close to the sun :)
Hey Sam, good job on this!! Even if a few few details were a bit of, you clearly put in a lot of effort to understand a complicated topic, and I appreciate you.
That's so cool you posted a video about this! I live less than a mile away from this tree, I attend UGA in Athens! This tree is a big landmark in our city.
I like trees. I always thought there was something sketchy about the tree that owns itself. I am happy that we know this now. So basically the tree isn't ever cut down to honor the memory of a dead guy, that's kind of nice. I like the way we do things like this. It's awesome. This is awesome.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I live literally on the other street from this tree! Everyone in Athens knows about the tree but it just kinda sits on the edge of someone’s property. It’s really cool to see a video about your hometown!
I have seen this tree many times and as far as everybody in Athens, GA is concerned, the tree owns itself, and nobody touches it. If they moved it, it would free up the road space to connect two streets better, but they leave it alone because it owns itself.
Ironic is this video that it causes a laugh on many levels.Additionally sad because the soldier jackson was right.The new tree looks like its in the way of a road eventhough it might be in the wrong spot... And this half as interesting guy kinda seems like hes attacking the trees rights?.. Also funny cause there aren't many soldiers who care about trees... Also sometimes explaining ideas like this kinda remove the initial laughter ;/
The "privet" in the thumbnail is not a typo or a funny way of saying that trees aren't as smart as humans. Privet is actually a real plant (albeit not a tree, more of a shrub).
Here in New Zealand we have a river(Whanganui) and national park(Te Urawera) that became legal entities in the past few years in order to protect them.
Tree is a great investment Step 1 plant a tree for 1 dollar Step 2 wait until the tree grow Step 3 cut the tree Step 4 turn it into money Invest in tree!!!
What about the tree that owns itself just across the border in Eufaula Alabama? The tree was given the deed by the city's mayor. It's also been replaced, but the replacement was also given the deed.
WHY ARE MY NOTIFICATIONS FULL OF TREES??? But for real, I love how so many of the different youtubers I'm subscribed to are all coming together to prompt a good cause.
I live about 10 minutes away from the tree, and I didnt even know that the tree was so important. I had heard about it, but just thought that was its name.
I have seen this tree before. There is a round about around it and some chains around the tree. I was told that an old women owned it and she died but had nobody to write in her will so she wrote everything to the tree
hes an independent tree who dont need no man

When a tree has more control over its life than you do...
CUT IT DOWN!
iDunno what you mean?

“Close” also counts with Thermonuclear weapons.

I was also told that close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and atomic war.

I just love the thumbnails on these videos ❤️
You are amazing!
This is the coolest thing ever... Every channel I subscribe to is talking about trees, but in its format.
"Or just you know, go outside"

Hey, Thank you for promoting team trees
RUclips: I hope you like tree videos, because here's 100 of them...
My notification panel is bombarded with different channels tree videos and it's awesome
Do love Tom Scott and his videos too though, they're quality!
Yo thanks for making the team trees video, first one I saw and immediately donated after
3:14 Yes, I realised that when I got 3 notifications on tree related videos at the same time

It won’t stop trunk texting their ax.

This is what every tree should already have.

my entire life lived up to me watching a video on a tree that owns it self.
"Privet property"

Here in New Zealand we have a river(Whanganui) and national park(Te Urawera) that became legal entities in the past few years in order to protect them.

All trees should own themselves. They are living beings after all.
Anyone else get 10 videos about trees in their subscription tab in the last 8 minutes?
"or you know, just go outside"
Guess imma have to access the site then
What about the tree that owns itself just across the border in Eufaula Alabama? The tree was given the deed by the city's mayor. It's also been replaced, but the replacement was also given the deed.
So that's why I've seen so many tree oriented videos today.
Yeah, that tree owns itself. Wait until somebody discovers oil under it.
