    I’m now going to be perpetually frustrated that I’ll never be able to find and identify my tree soul!

      Some trees make branches once a year, so you can count their age just by counting how many levels of branches they have on the main stem. You’ll find your tree 🙂

      Otoh, every tree that you see could be it…

      Or at least it will be someone else’s. :-)

    In some places it’s not uncommon to plant a tree the day a baby is born. I hope I can do that someday

      Wales did this. The effects of it really show, there’s a lot of greenery there (in a good way). If you’re lucky to get a holiday during good weather, it can be nice.

    A nice thought but mine has probably been slash & burned to make grazing land that will be useless and dead in 10 years.

    There are definitely many trees that sprouted the day you were born (yes, even if you were born in winter, the southern hemisphere exists), many of which are likely to outlive you, some even by multiple centuries, millenia if you’re lucky.

    There are more trees on earth than stars in the milky way.

      You know that winter is not happening at the same time in the southern hemisphere and there’s even latitudes with no seasons, right?

        true. Iaautomatically restricted the hypothetical tree to my geographic region
