This tree is not very old as it was discovered in the year 1994 in Australia. This tree is also known as a dinosaur tree and it looks so weird that we can even count it among the creepy trees. These were first found in the Wollemi Park of Australia and so they are called Wollemi pine trees. These are very tall unlike any other kind of pine tree.

Have you ever seen a tree that is this huge and wide? I have never imagined such a huge tree until I came to know about this tree in Oaxaca. This is one of the weirdest looking trees and the trunk is the most unusual thing about this tree. The trunk of this tree is too wide that even a bunch of people cannot hold the tree with their arms spread. Another weird thing about this tree is that the age is too old and perfectly fine as well. You would be shocked to know that this tree is about 2000 to 3000 years old. Many people keep on visiting this tree and this place has also become a good picnic spot which is amazing.

I don’t know why this tree is not called a mushroom but a dragon. This tree exactly looks like a giant mushroom that is made with leaves, a trunk, and some branches. This needs to be in the list of weird trees because of the unique look of the tree. You can also call this an umbrella tree because of its look. The branches of this tree are quite dense and it is in the upward direction. The growth of leaves on the branches makes it look like an umbrella. This is truly a weird tree and people of the Canary Islands call this tree divine and they even praise this tree. This is the living symbol of the Canary Islands.

Basket tree of USA:

Have you ever seen a tree that has a trunk shaped like a basket? Well, now you would see something like that as the USA has a basket tree. The main or the weirdest feature of this tree is the trunk of the tree. The trunk of this tree looks as if someone has woven it like a basket. You can literally see the clear basket-like structure of the tree which is unbelievable. This has become a tourist attraction and many local people like to come near this tree to spend some time. This tree is a log tree and apart from the trunk, everything else of this tree is quite normal.
