TREES- The Most Useful Largest Living Creature On Earth
Trees are the largest and longest living organisms on earth. Trees vary by size, structure, fruits, flowers, wood value and the like. But as a miracle, trees in reality grow as a complex chemical factory producing all the three forms of beneficial things for others: air, fluids, solids. Trees are able to take water and salts out of the earth and lift them up to leaves , sometimes over 400ft above. Some of the exceptional benefits derived from trees are:
