The Wanaka Tree

The Wanaka Tree, also known as the Willow of Wanaka, is a willow tree that grows in the shallow waters of Lake Wanaka, New Zealand. It is one of the most photographed trees in the world, and is a popular tourist destination.

The tree is thought to have been planted in the early 1900s as part of a fence line. Over time, the fence line has disappeared, but the tree has remained. The tree's roots are anchored in the lakebed, and its branches reach up to the sky.

The Wanaka Tree is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, and taking photos. It is also a popular spot for weddings and other special events.
