About this book

A German forester explains what he has observed over decades among beeches, oaks and spruces: trees that share nutrients through root networks, warn each other of insect attacks, shelter their offspring and keep a kind of memory. Drawing on forest science and long practical experience, the short chapters each take up one phenomenon and explain it in plain language, from how water climbs a trunk to why a stump can stay alive for centuries. The tone is patient and companionable rather than alarmed, and the structure makes it easy to read a few pages at a time and learn something specific.
