The Trees the World Has Written About
Fame and size have almost nothing to do with each other. Centurion, a mountain ash in Tasmania and one of the tallest living things on earth, has been written up in four languages. An oak in a Lithuanian village that most people outside the country could not place has been written up in nineteen. This page ranks every tree we map that at least two language Wikipedias thought worth an article, most languages first, with monthly reads breaking the ties. Two is the floor because one article usually means a local historian did their job, and a second language means the tree travelled. At the top is El Árbol del Tule outside Oaxaca, a cypress whose trunk has been written about in twenty-six languages and which stands in a church courtyard open every day of the year. The order changes as the articles do, and every tree here has a pin, a story and a way to get there.
