List of national trees facts for kids

A national tree is a special tree that a country chooses to represent itself. It's like a symbol, just like a national flag or a national animal. These trees are often picked because they are important to the country's history, culture, or environment. They might be very common in that country, have a unique look, or be used for important things like building or medicine.
