The impressive feat, captured on video and shared by Guinness World Records, took place at the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama, USA.

Abubakar Tahiru, a 29-year-old Ghanaian forestry student, is going viral for his arboreal affection. Mr Tahiru smashed the Guinness World Record for most trees hugged in an hour, squeezing a whopping 1,123 trees in his arms.

The impressive feat, captured on video and shared by Guinness World Records, took place at the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama, USA.  But this wasn't just a casual stroll through the woods. To qualify for the record, Mr Tahiru had to maintain a brisk pace, averaging nearly 19 hugs per minute.  Each embrace had to be a full-on hug, with both arms wrapped around the tree.  The rules were strict: no-repeat hugs and no harming the trees during the attempt.

This impressive display of dedication to both nature and record-breaking is a story that's sure to leave you smiling.
