There's increasing evidence to show that trees are able to communicate with each other. More than that, trees can learn.
If that's true — and my experience as a forester convinces me it is — then they must be able to store and transmit information. And scientists are beginning to ask: is it possible that trees possess intelligence, and memories, and emotions? So, to cut to the quick, do trees have brains? It sounds incredible, but when you discover how trees talk to each other, feel pain, nurture each other, even care for their close relatives and organise themselves into communities, it's hard to be sceptical.

In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland. https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Life-Trees-Communicate%C2%97Discoveries-Secret/dp/1771642483/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474032405&sr=8-1&keywords=hidden+lives+of+trees https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Life-Trees-Communicate%C2%97Discoveries-Secret/dp/1771642483/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474032405&sr=8-1&keywords=hidden+lives+of+trees
