"One Tree Hill" is a U2 song from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree. The title of the song refers to One Tree Hill, a volcanic peak in New Zealand. At the time of the song's release, a single pine tree stood on the hill. The tree was removed after being chainsawed by a protester in 2000. The song was written in memory of Bono's personal assistant, Greg Carroll, who died in a 1986 motorcycle crash in Dublin. Carroll was from New Zealand. The hit WB show, One Tree Hill was also named after this song.
The lyrics also reference Chilean folk singer Victor Jara.
The B-sides and cover art are identical to the North America-only single release of "In God's Country".
