The worlds shortest trees

in nature •  7 years ago  (edited)

In the harsh mountain environments is found this tree like plant that grows clinging to the rock surface.

Its roots are anchored in the cracks in the rocks and its woody stems extend outward pressed against the rock surface.

The stems are woody just like a tree.

When still alive the stems are covered with bark and the branches have grey leaves.

Waooh. Such a strong tree to survive in this kind of environment. Nature always have one or two lessons to teach us. I want to be strong and brave, always standing up to harsh and difficult conditions. Sometimes, we give up when we are nearly there. If only we could hold on, there are many things we could achieve in life. Even if i face the worst circumstances in life, like this tree, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. YOU TOO CAN!!

Wow this is so cool :)

This is the will to survive... love to see this kind of stuff.. This is a survivor with it's beautiful flowers . Thanks for sharing

The bark of the plant looks quite unusual , I would love to know what part of the world these plants could be found

I love the color of this tree. The leafs are so bright.

Amazing! Looks like lost souls from the underground, longing for sun
