Not sure this book knew what it wanted to be.
It succeeded at being a book about trees written by a zoologist who seems just as happy to talk about other living things.
First part does have tree history, right back through evolution, but it does seem to get snagged up in the greater story of the evolution of life.
The second part has at least as many mentions of beings in Orders that are not trees, as trees themselves. 1/?
Reasonable given the definition, but still, the name "cloud forest" has such ✨whimsy✨. ☁️?
Just when I thought I knew all the players in pollination. Lemurs?!
Busting out the big words just to be cheeky, I swear. 🍌
Trees doin' U-turns...🤷🏼♂️
Love how he just slides these opinion pieces/personal philosophies in between tree facts. 😏
"...a fairly common trick..." I had no idea existed! ?⁉️
Very much digging this description of a tree I don't think I've ever seen. Will Google once I'm done savouring the wording.
Oh good, so I'm even tightly wound on the cellular level! 🤦🏼♂️
