The Bloodwood Tree gets its name from its dark red sap. When you cut one down, the red sap flows out of the severed trunk and looks a lot like blood.

When trees are chopped down, they don’t scream, shout, or bleed. That might explain why the planet has such a big problem with deforestation. If all trees were like the African Bloodwood Tree, something tells me we would be more hesitant before we continue to ruin our forests.

The Bloodwood Tree is native to the African nations of Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zaire, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

The sap of the Bloodwood Tree is traditionally used as a dye. In some African cultures, the sap is thought to contain magical powers, and is used by tribal doctors to treat a variety of diseases.

The wood of the Bloodwood Tree is also highly sought after by furniture makers. Because of this, the population of wild Bloodwood Trees is rapidly shrinking. In response, the tree has been declared a protected species in many areas.

I would never expect to see blood when chopping down a tree. Talk about disturbing. Sadly, a bleeding tree is not enough to get people to stop chopping them down.

Each column consists of 1,800 fir poles, 600 chestnut branches, and 6,000 meters of hazel branches held together with wood, nails, and string.

In 2001, Italian artist Giuliano Mauri began work on an outdoor architectural installation near the foot of northern Italy’s Mount Arera. He would continue to work on the impressive project until his death in 2009. The following year, his creation was finally completed by those who now view it as a memorial to the late artist.

The finished sculptures form hallowed grounds named Cattedrale Vegetale, or “Tree Cathedral.” This gorgeous blend of nature and spirituality will uplift any visitor lucky enough to soak in its beauty in person.

The structure is formed by 42 ivy-covered columns separated in five aisles.

Eighty hornbeam saplings flower and fade with the seasons inside the columns.

As the columns decay, the trees growing within them will remain, keeping the cathedral intact forever.

I can’t imagine the feeling of seeing this amazing creation in person. I hope I get to find out what it looks like up close one day.
