“The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate — Discoveries From a Secret World.”
Peter Wohlleben’s best seller sold 320,000 copies in 2015 in Germany, and it’s English version in will be published in September 2016. The book covers trees as social beings, nursing sick neighbors, warning each other of danger by sending electrical signals across associated symbiotic fungal networks (“Wood Wide Web”); and, for reasons unknown, keeping the ancient stumps of long-felled companions alive for centuries by feeding them via these fungal networks.
