for the last two months i've been writing about trees, specific and individual trees, ones whose lives have become entangled with humanity.

every time i go researching one tree i find three more i want to write about... so i think i'll be at it a while yet.

The loneliest tree in the world

A sitka spruce growing on Motu Ihupuku / Campbell Island, 170 miles distant from the next closest tree.

Motu Ihupuku (Campbell Island) is an uninhabited sub-antarctic island of New Zealand. With a maritime tundra climate touting consistent rain and wind (precipitation 325 days a year, gale-force winds 100 days a year), the island is home to seabirds, seals, grasses, mosses, and shrubs.

And exactly one tree.
