The trees in each area can be different from each other, which for many is a very interesting and exciting experience, as it allows you to explore something new and unusual.

However, these plant species can hardly be called rare.

But there is a unique tree that grows only in one place on the planet.

What plant are we talking about?

Few people know about the existence of tree daisies, which are also called cabbage trees. These plants have nothing to do with flowers or vegetables: they are real (albeit unique) trees, whose height can be several meters.

Such unusual and rare trees grow on the territory of the island of Saint Helena, which became famous thanks to Napoleon.

It is believed that there used to be more of these trees on the island, but the settlement of the territory left virtually no chance for the relict species to survive.

However, cabbage trees can still be found on the distant island. The amazing fact is that there are even several species of tree daisies.

These trees themselves are very ancient. It is believed that the island was once completely covered with these unique plants.
