The Heartbreak Of Trees

 Being a tree hugger I decided to listen to the audiobook translated from German to English called The Heartbreak Of Trees: Embracing Our Ancient Bond With Forests and Nature by  Peter Wohlleben. I learned much about trees including their ability to angle their roots toward water underground and transfer memories to their offspring.  He also claims that in the spring and summer, the trees take up a sudden upflow of water every 3 or 4 hours much like a heartbeat. The author is knowledgeable but his style is rambling and unorganized. Throughout the book he talks about the oldest tree on the planet in Sweden, the Polish forests near Belarus, the Black Forests in Germany, and trees in British Columbia.
