^ Yes, it's odd that the number of trees is so small, also odd to me that those Californian Redwoods have individual names and are kept concealed, like celebrities from the paparazzi. I don't know of any trees in England that are famous enough to be given individual names, but I guess there are some.

I was once on the Med island of Malta, which has no surface fresh-water at all: it all soaks into the rock. They can pump it back up again, but for decades they have got most of their drinking water from de-salinated seawater. Problems are that it costs 4 times as much as the pumped-up fresh water, and also, if you're not used to it, it still tastes salty - I remember the salty coffee and salty beer I drank during my stay there.
