Did you know that humans aren’t the only living creatures who experience loneliness? Trees do too.
Like humans, trees are better able to survive — and thrive — when surrounded by other living creatures.

Trees are social beings, interacting with and relying on their environment in a variety of ways. They lean on underground fungal networks to help them exchange nutrients and water. They alert each other about possible disease or attack,

Japan-style ‘tiny forests’ are taking root in British cities
Interviews with tree experts reveal that while half of them supported the Miyawake method, especially in specific urban areas, concerns remained about tree mortality and high costs.

Evapotranspiration is the process by which trees release water vapor into the air through their leaves, lowering temperatures by up to 7 degrees. #treessavelives
To keep your cool in a heatwave, it may help to water your trees
Trees and greenspace can drive down urban temperatures – but they must be able to draw water from the soil to achieve these massive cooling effects.

🌿 Gumnuts: Sessile vs Pedicellate 🌿
Pedicellate gumnuts hang on their own little stalks (pedicels) from a group stalk (peduncle).
Sessile gumnuts have no individual stalks—they attach directly to the group stalk.
A handy clue for ID!

‘Power’ is a word with negative connotations nowadays, conjuring up images of leaders who put themselves beyond the rule of law and the will of the people.
