We take trees for granted, but they are so important to our well-being and the health of the planet. You might pass by this tree on a hike without a second thought because it looks just like any other tree. However, this alligator juniper tree is larger than its usual size. Most alligator juniper trees reach 33 to 50 feet in height. This one looks like it might be bigger!

You can see this tree’s size by comparing it to the person standing at its trunk. Just imagine how old this tree must be in order to reach such a height! This particular tree lives in Big Bug Mesa near Prescott, Arizona. The alligator juniper tree is native to this region, making its survival and size even more significant.
