The most beautiful tree in the world in our opinion is the Japanese tree of life. This tree photo was taken in the fall and submitted for the 2012 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest. It made it through the competition, and after going viral, its origin story became widely known. Planted at the “Portland Japanese Garden” in Portland, Oregon in 1968, it is believed that it was a 20 year old tree that was taken from a local residence and then added to the park. Over the years, into the sprawling, colorful, 2.5 meter tall beauty it is today. Native to Japan, Korean, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia, this species is known for its distinctive leaves and often non-conformist shape. It is this incredible form that, in our opinion, makes this tree the most beautiful specimen on the planet!
