4th Place with 228 Billion Trees
4th Place with 228 Billion Trees, is the United States according to a research by a group of scientists calculating comprehensive estimates of the numbers of trees in each country of the world, and how that relates to the country’s physical size, population size and more.
It is considered a country’s Tree Wealth. Because trees contribute so much, from filtering water, combating air pollution, taking in carbon and providing food for animals and people.
These trees here are in my yard, plenty of moss growing on two of them, but the one in the bottom left photo does not have any tree bark. I have witnessed the birds peeling the bark off and using it in their nest. The tree is still growing despite losing its protective bark.
My second favorite tree is the Palm tree. Because if I am seeing them, it means I am down south where the weather is so nice in the winter.
The National Forest Foundation planted an incredible 5 million trees in National Forest in 2019, they estimate 2.6 million tons of CO2 will be absorbed over 100 years.
My most favorite tree is the Quaking Aspen Trees.
I do not know what kind of tree this is below, it was at a park we were camping at in Illinois a couple weeks ago. It did not have any bark on it, and lots of scars everywhere. But the show they put on in the fall with the beautiful colored leaves in the photos next to it, shows its beauty is beyond the scars of life.
I think that I will never see, a poem as lovely as a Tree
Russia – 642 billion trees.
Canada – 318 billion trees.
Brazil – 302 billion trees.
United States – 228 billion trees
Estimated total Trees in the World – 3 Trillion

Those are amazing stats on how many trees are in the world Sandra – thank you for pointing out their beauty and their flaws. I did not know that birds pull the bark off the trees. All the photos are lovely – I would not want to rake up that path with all the leaves on it.
Yes, I never thought of the overall number of trees around the world. I am sure the number changes drastically with fires and all. But there a lot of people who keep planting more trees, I try every year. 🙂
Yes, keep planting – I remember you said you did this year. We must replenish what we are losing by catastrophic natural occurrences – I saw a picture of the Colorado wildfires from a satellite high above the atmosphere. It was pretty incredible just how much smoke there was.
that tree below looks like a beech Sandra?
A single old growth can take in dozens of times more than any planted tree. It’s the old growth that we need! Once they are cut they will never be allowed to grow for another one thousand years! Maybe 80 at best.
But old growth gives the loggers more money per acre than 80 year ld trees! So they trying to cut every single one of them down so their pockets are full leaving our forests empty.
Yes Wayne, I see that still happening in Michigan, so many acres are just bare, there used to be a lot of white pine up there and now there are more poplars, the Blue Spruce all have some sort of disease and are dying off as well. In this town here in Iowa, I watched them take down a huge area of old trees and they built a car lot there instead. I could not believe it. It took so long for those trees to grow, the car lot already had a spot in town, but they wanted to be out in the new suburb addition.
Love the trees
Thank you Mr. Ohh 🙂
Lovely photos 😊! This post is really uplifting! I just saw this and HAD to comment
Thank you very much Mr. Daredevil. I appreciate that. 😊
As always, beautiful photos Sandra!! I really love trees. Especially the shade they provide from the beating sun, it sure is nice 😊 Love reading your posts and with the informational tidbits you give, they’re are great! Thank you!!! 💖
You are very welcome Maria 🙂 💕
I enjoyed the excursion your photos offered. So lovely to see the variety of trees and learn a little about the tree populations in different parts of the world. The tree without a name has a trunk that reminds me of my magnolia but the leaves don’t match a magnolia they remind me of a maple tree. So interesting.
The punster in me wants to call it estimated number of trees world wide–three tree-lion.
lol, I like that. 🙂
All so very beautiful!!! Thank You, Sandra!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much 🙂 💕💕
My pleasure!!! 🤗💖😊
Your photos are poetry… Wonderful post.
Thank you, Sandra, have a great day.
Thank you for that Francine, I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day also. 🙂
What is that remarkable tree that is still alive despite losing its bark?
It is a pine tree right outside of my front door. It is really old and still has green pine needles on it. They are sparse, but it still serves its purpose in my front yard. I have watched the birds pull the bark off in small pieces, I have never seen them do that before.
The autumn leaves are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome.
Great piece! I expected USA to have more trees than that as it has vast forests. Thanks for an insightful piece as always.
You are very welcome, I know I thought that as well. I knew Canada had to have a lot as well. Beautiful country up there.😊
😃🥰
Astronomical figures and yet … trees are being felled en masse, so that the number of trees continues to decrease.
Yes, and so many fires here.
I just love your pictures Sandra❤️ I am happy to say this in all your posts😅 Though it may seem repetitive I will say😀
I love reading your wonderful comments, it is very encouraging, I love sharing what I see through the lens of my camera. Thank you Divya. 💕😊
