I found this site:   http://www.neatorama.com/2007/03/21/...-in-the-world/    It has info about amazing trees around the globe, and as a TNB side note:       Bonus 2: The Lonely Tree of Ténéré  The Tree of Ténéré or LAbre du Ténéré was the worlds most isolated tree - the solitary acacia, which grew in the Sahara desert in Niger, Africa, was the only tree within more than 250 miles (400 km) around.  The tree was the last surviving member of a group of acacias that grew when the desert wasnt as dry. When scientists dug a hole near the tree, they found its roots went down as deep as 120 feet (36 m) below to the water table!  Apparently, being the only tree in that part of the wide-open desert (remember: there wasnt another tree for 250 miles around), wasnt enough to stop a drunk Libyan truck driver from driving his truck into it, knocking it down and killing it!  Now, a metal sculpture was placed in its spot to commemorate the Lonely Tree of Ténéré   :rolleyes: I wonder which ethnic group that drunk Libyan truck driver belongs to?? :rolleyes:
