Earth has existed for 4.5 billion years, but trees are relative newcomers to our planet's flora. In fact, trees have exited for only 345 million to 360 million years, according to Science Daily. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the planet's forests were mostly populated by Archaeopteris, an extinct tree that was similar in structure to the trees that cover the earth today.
