I would argue that the Hazel tree is a contender for this title, at least in temperate climates. The wood can be used for wattle fences or hurdles, water-diving rods, and pegs including for thatching.

The nuts are of course edible, and folklore says that they also convey wisdom. They can also be made into an oil for edible or cosmetic uses.

Hazel leaves can be used medicinally to relieve haemorrhoids and varicose veins. They are also diuretic

The catkins can be used as decoration.

If coppiced correctly, a hazel tree can last for thousands of years.

So a hazel coppice could enable you to build a shelter, eat, and find water, as well as cure some
