Cuilin I love starting my day with this book. I love the Major Oak tree in Sherwood Forest and I also love the road of trees in Northern Ireland. 5d
TheBookHippie Yes! I loved that Theresienstadt was in the book and everyday I‘m in awe. Such a perfect book for the year! 5d

CBee I need to catch up but am very much enjoying it! 5d
AllDebooks @Cuilin I loved the Major Oak too, visited it many times. It is a lovely book. 😍 5d
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie glad you like it. I like the variety of posts, so interesting. 5d
AllDebooks @CBee no rush, just enjoy. X 5d
Read4life I‘m just enjoying this book. I start my day with it out on the hammock with my coffee. It‘s just a perfect start to each new day. 5d
AnnCrystal 🌱💝💝💝. 5d
Faranae 😂 I think I'm the only one who doesn't like the book. I thought I would, but it doesn't go deep enough at all, and some of the trees I already knew about, I got annoyed because of how she talked about them (for example, focusing on the death of Kiidk'yaas instead of its part in Haida life, the saplings created from cuttings, the use of the wood in Six String Nation, etc).

It did give me something to track daily for Storygraph though!

dabbe I'm loving it and even got Matt reading it with me. 🤩 The only parts that sadden me, though, are the trees that no longer exist. 🥺 5d
TEArificbooks I‘m loving it. I thought it was going to highlight a tree species a day but I like the specific trees. I thought the 11 bonsai trees was a cute story. 5d
Daisey I‘m thoroughly enjoying this book as well! I don‘t tend to read it every day but about every 3 days I read a few days. I‘m not sure it‘s quite what I was expecting, but it‘s fascinating. 5d
Seabreeze_Reader I'm enjoying the daily essays, although I sometimes miss a few days and then read multiple entries to catch up. I think the reading is just the right length and if I'm curious about finding out more info, I can do more research on my on. The stories of destruction do make me sad. How could someone manage to run over a lone tree in the middle of the Sahara dessert? It just boggles my mind. So far, I still like the Emancipation Oak entry the best. 4d
kspenmoll My favorite entry for January is 01/04-The willow tree-always loved the weeping willows. 4d
kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Loved this info too- there is so much in this book-I adore it & its a lovely way to start my day. 4d
AllDebooks I enjoy the variety of posts, not just actual trees but stories, art, sculpture, literary references, and history. 3d

I have been loving reading A Tree a Day with #naturalitsy. I took my book with me on our hike today to photograph with our state tree, the Palo Verde. This is not her prettiest time of year (check back in March or April for yellow flowers) but you can still see what makes her unique, a green trunk and green branches.

dabbe Haven't hear of either one! I'll have to look into them! 🩶🖤🩶 1mo
tpixie @Larkken @dabbe I read lab girl for a Bookclub and I was worried about not liking it, but I found it very interesting. I have not read Amy Stewart‘s book, but I did pre-order it and have it on my bookshelf! I put Tree a day down for me to purchase in November 2025. So it could be a goal for 2026! (edited) 1mo
TEArificbooks @Larkken @dabbe @tpixie I also have the tree collectors on my tbr shelf 1mo

I‘m all caught up on my daily trees, and I read December and January from The Wild Remedy.
Hoping to finish Joan Didion in Women‘s Lives tomorrow, and get more into The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store.

Thanks for asking @rachelsbrittain !
