Top 10 survival trees you need to plant today

American basswood – American basswood is a relatively common tree best known for its durable inner fibers. The tree is known to produce some of the best natural cordage. American basswood is also one of the most ideal trees for firewood use, as its soft wood is highly susceptible to friction. The tree's edible leaves and inner bark offers sweet natural flavors.
White pine – Perhaps the biggest benefit of white pine is its valuable resin. White pine resin can be made into a variety of products such as fire extender, natural epoxy, candles and lamps, and waterproofing materials. White pine is also an ideal construction material for making huts and survival shelters.
Willow tree – Tea made from willow bark is known to contain analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fever properties. The tree's bark is also noted for containing salicin, a chemical that has properties similar to aspirin. Salicin eases headaches and inflammation. The tree is also used in treating a variety of conditions such as headache, lower back pain, and osteoarthritis. Willow trees are also best known for their barks that peel away from the wood. These wood peelings make for excellent cordage.
