While this is interesting and impressive, I kinda relate more to OP's link of more "normal" trees. Going through the list gives me a feeling how many cool trees there are all over the place.
This moves me. It affirms that grown trees have tremendous personality.

> A tree located in an established gay cruising area, noted for its slender trunk which facilitates gay sex.
The mind boggles haha
I can't believe this got past the Wikipedia editors.

I read that and assumed this must be some joke article and/or art stunt. After reading the article and linked sources, I'm still not sure that ain't true.

One of Wikipedia’s greatest contributions is collecting records like this that wouldn’t appear in a traditional encyclopedia.

Is this list comprehensive?

No, but you can add anything missing if you have a source!

But does the article include a handy list of How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away?

I noticed the "bicycle tree" in Scotland which has encapsulated a bicycle amongst other things as it has grown. It reminded me of a very old graveyard I would play in as a kid. The oldest side was all old trees and one day I noticed one of the trees had a couple of gravestones up in its boughs. I always wondered if these were really lifted up there by the tree and if so whether that's unusual.
However obscure this page might be, I was there just a few days ago. Clicked on it from this article about a tree that was cut down, and it was apparently a big thing in the UK.
