Scientists have discovered a tree that has a "new type of wood" that could help in the fight against climate change.
They have found that tulip trees - which can grow well over 30 metres tall - and have a special type of wood. The wood can 'lock in' carbon.
It is well known that by absorbing carbon dioxide, trees can reduce pollution, improve air quality and slow down the effects of climate change.
So what have the scientists discovered about this tree?
Can it help protect the environment?
