RE: Planting the apple tree that grew out of a log!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Very cool! A while back I read an article about symbiotic trees. Someone did a study and discovered that trees can communicate through their root structures. Strong trees can help weaker trees by providing them with water and nutrients. It was a very very interesting study. But if you think about how long trees can live, sometimes hundreds of years, they must have developed some special wisdom! Your example further confirms this.

Neat! I started a book that described exactly that before we moved but have lost track of it, one of the downsides to having off-Kindle reading. :)

The book is "The Secret Life of Plants" by Peter Tompkins. Fascinating reading! Thanks for the reminder.

Cool! I will have to check it out!
