Amazing fact that you won't believe

That looks like a forest, right? All those trees you could walk between? Wrong. It's all one tree.

Underneath the soil, a dense network of roots connects all the shoots that look like 47,000 trees from above.

Called the quaking aspen for its fluttery leaves, it usually grows into groves of identical clones, although it can reproduce sexually on special occasions.

This grove, nicknamed Pando, is one of the oldest and largest organisms in the world, although the original stem is long dead by now.
