Populus Euphratica is the only tree species to be found in the desert of North China. In Ejina in the west of Inner Mongolia, there's a Populus Euphratica. As the oldest tree in this Populus Euphratica forest, it's been guarding this place for more than 800 years. The locals call it the "Sacred Tree."

An interesting trip back in time. I can imagine what a forest of trees like this must have been like.

It's hard to imagine this barren place being populated by trees at one time- but the earth is good at hiding its past! There was a mastodon fossil discovered here a few decades ago when a new building was being put in!
