A Tree a Day: 365 of the World�s Most Majestic Trees | Amy-Jane Beer

Hi, tentative 👋

I'm slowly starting to feel better. February has been a tough month. All I've been doing is resting and reading. My daughter brought me snowdrops to cheer me up. A sign spring is springing. 🌞

I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Bookwormjillk Glad to see you back! We've missed you! 3d

KadaGul @AllDebooks I know the feeling of being sick 🤧😷🤒🤮. I spent the whole of January and February being sick and finally starting to get better. 3d

AnnCrystal Wonderful that you're recovering 🙏🏼💝📚💝. 3d

Liz_M Welcome back (and posting with a vengeance!) I hope spring arrives soon and with our, better health! 3d

Librarybelle Glad you‘re feeling better! 3d

From the reading for February 22 of A Tree a Day comes this fun but weird word!

epiphyte: a plant that grows upon another for support only, not as a parasite

julieclair I am totally loving this book! 5d

Daisey @julieclair I can‘t seem to ever remember to actually pick it up two days in a row, but I am loving it as well. 5d

julieclair Have you reached the page about the cork trees yet? It totally made me aware of my choices when buying wine. 4d

Daisey @julieclair I did, and I also found it really interesting. I never would have realized choosing real cork was beneficial to the sustainability of the cork trees. 2d

julieclair I know, right? But I will think about it now. 🍾 2d

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. 1mo

TheBookHippie Yes! I loved that Theresienstadt was in the book and everyday I‘m in awe. Such a perfect book for the year! 1mo

CBee I need to catch up but am very much enjoying it! 1mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin I loved the Major Oak too, visited it many times. It is a lovely book. 😍 1mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie glad you like it. I like the variety of posts, so interesting. 1mo

AllDebooks @CBee no rush, just enjoy. X 1mo

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. 1mo

AnnCrystal 🌱💝💝💝. 1mo

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! 1mo

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. 🥺 1mo

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. 1mo

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. 1mo

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. 1mo

kspenmoll My favorite entry for January is 01/04-The willow tree-always loved the weeping willows. 1mo

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Loved this info too- there is so much in this book-I adore it & its a lovely way to start my day. 1mo

AllDebooks @Seabreeze_Reader @kspenmoll 😊 1mo

AllDebooks I enjoy the variety of posts, not just actual trees but stories, art, sculpture, literary references, and history. 1mo

The Language of Trees: A Rewilding and Rewriting of Literature and Landscape | Katie Holten

so-so

Katie Holten is an artist who collected poetry, recipes, excerpts from essays, thoughts related to trees. Some are philosophical, some scientific. Authors range from Ross Gay to Ada Limon, Robert MacFarlane, Richard Powers, Plato or Radiohead. I enjoyed reading bits and pieces but overall, I wonder: what is this? I don‘t understand what “a rewilding of literature and landscape” means and what the point of this book is. Not for me.

CatMS That picture of the trees is beautiful 1mo

Anna40 @CatMS yes! You‘re right! The artwork is great and especially this one 1mo

A Tree a Day: 365 of the World�s Most Majestic Trees | Amy-Jane Beer

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.

🌳 Photo taken at South Mountain Park, Arizona

TheBookHippie Nice! I am loving this book. 2mo

Kenyazero It's certainly an interesting read! Love this picture! 2mo

Singing to trees, you say? Well, sure! Why not? @AllDebooks #naturalitsy

dabbe 🩶🖤🩶 this book! 2mo

tpixie @Larkken @dabbe interesting book! You might like Lab Girl. Interesting tree info. Have you heard about Amy Stewart‘s

The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession

2mo

Larkken @tpixie I love lab girl! One of my top 10 memoirs 😍 but I've not heard of the Stewart book - I'll look for it! Thanks 🥰 2mo

dabbe Haven't hear of either one! I'll have to look into them! 🩶🖤🩶 2mo

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) 2mo

TEArificbooks @Larkken @dabbe @tpixie I also have the tree collectors on my tbr shelf 2mo

tpixie @TEArificbooks 💚 🌳 💚 2mo

Bookwormjillk I am very taken with the idea of hanging toast in the trees. Loving this book. 2mo

PaperbackPirate Now I know what they‘re saying in that Xmas song! 😂 2mo

Larkken @Bookwormjillk it's a delight! I read ahead on accident this week because I was so into it 😂 2mo

Larkken @PaperbackPirate so many good tidbits! 2mo
