        It’s Wikipedia. Make the change you want to see in the page.

          With respect, that is naive. To demonstrate, create a new account and go ahead and make that change. It will be reverted. Wikipedia is not the democratic free-for-all it once was.

          If you do perform that experiment and I am wrong, please come back and let us know.

    However obscure this page might be, I was there just a few days ago. Clicked on it from this article about a tree that was cut down, and it was apparently a big thing in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree

      I've been to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest in Inyo County, CA where the Methuselah tree lives. Though I didn't get to see that specific tree because the sun was fast setting and I wasn't prepared to hike around in darkness, I had a pretty amazing experience being the presence of 4000- and 5000-year old trees.

      While this is interesting and impressive, I kinda relate more to OP's link of more "normal" trees. Going through the list gives me a feeling how many cool trees there are all over the place.

    This moves me. It affirms that grown trees have tremendous personality.

    But does the article include a handy list of How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away?

    > A tree located in an established gay cruising area, noted for its slender trunk which facilitates gay sex.

    The mind boggles haha

    I can't believe this got past the Wikipedia editors.

    One of Wikipedia’s greatest contributions is collecting records like this that wouldn’t appear in a traditional encyclopedia.

      Yeah you can bet the Fuck Tree wouldn't make it into any encyclopedia.

    I noticed the "bicycle tree" in Scotland which has encapsulated a bicycle amongst other things as it has grown. It reminded me of a very old graveyard I would play in as a kid. The oldest side was all old trees and one day I noticed one of the trees had a couple of gravestones up in its boughs. I always wondered if these were really lifted up there by the tree and if so whether that's unusual.

    Is this list comprehensive?

      No, but you can add anything missing if you have a source!
