Twelve tree truths

(Try saying that fast!)

  • Did you know that a tree called the giant sequoia can grow to be one of the biggest things on earth!
  • Trees "breathe in" carbon dioxide and "breathe out" oxygen.
  • You can tell the age of a tree by measuring its trunk.
  • Some trees lose their leaves in autumn - they are called deciduous.
  • Other trees have leaves throughout the year and are know as evergreen.
  • Trees can live for hundreds of years.
  • Trees become homes for lots of different creatures - from squirrels to ants.
  • We get lots of different types of foods from trees. Apples, plums and chestnuts, to name but a few.
  • We even get some of our medicines from trees - e.g. aspirin
  • We make rubber bands from the sap of rubber trees.
  • There are hundreds of different types of trees.
  • Trees are ideal places for building your tree house!
