I am going to engineering school and one of my life goals is to invent a material that is strong enough, rigid enough, and safe enough to be used as a permanent replacement for wood, so that I can forever help preserve the natural beauty of trees. I love plants, I love trees, and I love mother earth

Nature truly is absolutely amazing, I can see why Native Americans hold nature so dear and close to their hearts and their spiritual beliefs. If you just stand in the presence of these monolithic structures, you can almost feel the energy, the life, and the spirit of nature. That might sound corny to some people, but not to me. I’m as white as they come, born and raised in Toronto my entire life, of English and Irish background, but I swear to God, somehow there’s a part of me that is Native American, because I share so much of their beliefs regarding nature, and the deep respect that they hold for it. Many years ago, I was travelling around British Columbia, and across Vancouver Island, and to see an entire mountain side completely wiped clean of every single tree that was there, literally had me in tears. I can’t explain it, but the emotional response I felt was absolutely overwhelming, as if something or somebody that I love dearly, died. I understand that humanity needs materials, but with today’s modern techniques of construction, it’s no longer necessary to destroy such beauty all over the world. When will humanity learn that this isn’t just a hunk of wood, these living beings are the very lifeblood of the planet, and without them we would all be dead, and that’s a fact. They’re already destroying the Amazon, that are literally the lungs of the planet, as they absorbs CO2, and give us oxygen to breathe. By killing nature, we are killing ourselves. It’s way past time that we woke up to that realization, to learn to respect nature, to learn that it’s not there for us to do with as we please, it’s there to keep us alive, to sustain us, to feed us, and to give us life. It’s so ironic that for centuries we’ve been killing the one thing that’s been keeping us alive, I only pray to God that one day all the worlds Governments finally clue into that fact, and adopt all the new methods of creating construction materials, and hydroponic food growth, so that we don’t have to destroy nature, but instead, live in harmony, peace, and respect with it. Please tell me that I’m not the only one who feels this way, because for me nature is life. I suffer from extreme depression and anxiety, due to many health problems including cancer, and whenever the world becomes so dark that I can’t stand it, I need only walk through the forest not far from my home, and I am instantly renewed back to full vigour and life. It’s impossible to put into words, but it truly inspires me, it lifts my spirits, and for the briefest of moments makes me feel alive again, so please, I beg all of you, have a little more respect for nature, because you have no idea just how much it does for us, thank you.

This video should have titled "Some big trees in no particular order"

I suspect had we have allowed our trees to just be that our world would look so much different. Trees, bushes, flowers, spices & herbs are such amazing gifts to our world 🌎

Love those rainbow trees, and visiting the Redwoods in California was sheer heaven for me.

From New Zealand. I remember sneaking to climb tane mahuta as a kid. I climbed to the top and fell a sleep on a branch while communing with the tree god Bark. When I woke up it was dark. I climbed down feeling like a champion.

I have to wonder why General Sherman was not in the list? While not the tallest... it is certainly not the shortest... and is far more impressive than a floating a "floating Christmas tree"

[jaredpurcell]

Putting a fake tree at number 12? Come on...

[benjaminmurray]

There is nothing more magnificent than seeing and observing the beauty that is nature. Such elegance, power and beauty that exist should be protected!!!

General Sherman is in the thumb nail!! Totally haven’t even started the video yet, but I actually have one of the pictures that I took of General Sherman as my phone case. I spend every summer up in the Sequoia National Park and my friend and I call General Sherman our friend and nothing is more amazing than going right up to him and laying down and looking up at his absolute beauty.

I live kind of near the Tennessee treehouse and everyone knows someone burnt it down on purpose. It was closed down before it was burnt, but people still went in it. It is really sad that someone really took away something everyone in the area loved to visit.

@8:24 Juggernaut is not 460 feet tall. It is located at an elevation of 460 feet. The tree is 306 feet tall.

The Christmas tree in Rio de Janeiro is not a tree!

[onlybosslion]

These are awesome trees! Magnificent!

[JakeKoenig]

4:27 - "it's just under 169 ft tall.."
*graphic shows a height of 327 ft

Great work, Top Fives. Nailed it!

I thought the Ponderosa pine might fall into this category, but I guess not. Many beautiful trees, and the magnificence of them always takes my breath away. Thank you

[tirumaleshkrotha]

I feel like to give a big hug to all those trees ❤️

I would have thought the Sitka Spruce trees would have at least been mentioned in passing. They're to be found in the wet, moist grounds along the Pacific northwest above Washington up to Alaska and east to the yukon. They're said to live to be up to 600 years old and up to 300 feet tall. While not necessarily the tallest evergreen, just the sight of one is awe inspiring.

My parents took my Brothers, Sister and I on Vacations, Camping, to the Redwoods, Yosemite, Sequoia National Park, Yellowstone and most of the other "Big Tree" Parks in the US. I was and still am amazed at the Size of them...We even went and saw the one that you could Drive Through. But our Camper was too large to pass through it. I still have Pictures of some of them that we'd seen. I belonged to a family of six and we stretched arm to arm around some of them and still couldn't complete our circle, the bases were so large...They were truly amazing...

Can you just imagine the root system on these
