Eight Of The World's Creepiest Trees In The World

Joshua Trees (Yucca brevifolia): It is native to the North American Southwest, Joshua trees create a bizarre scene in the sweltering Mojave Desert. It belongs to desert-loving Yucca family. Still, they're generally accepted as trees because of their woody stems and outstretched limbs crowned with pom-poms of spiky leaves. They look like skeletons of trees rather than trees themselves, especially when surrounded by vast expanses of seemingly post-apocalyptic nothingness, these wannabe trees have acquired a rather eerie reputation. The first person to ever record their existence was the explorer John C. Frémont, famous for leading the 19th-century expeditions to the Far West. He wrote of the Joshua tree's stiff and ungraceful form, describing it as the most repulsive tree in the vegetable kingdom.
