There's a number of assumptions in that article where two and two make five. The beech section conflicts with the article written by Duncan Slater fairly recently, that you won't find beech saplings under beech trees or, I think, hawthorn under the parent trees. (can't remember all the details)

 

Saying that the intercommunication between species has been investigated and published years back.

 

Probably still purchase and read it though.

I've preordered Gary, the title and extract seems to indicate some form of "emotional" connection which may lead to assumptions but passion, even if potentially unsupported, often makes for a good read! 👍🏻

Had this on pre-order for months now. Looking forward to it. Having worked with trees for nearly three years directly now, my view of them has changed drastically and I find myself becoming more spiritual and pursuing ever-more esoteric topics by the day. There are more to these beasts than meets the eye, or the soul...

From the article:

 

"Think that trees cannot communicate? Scientists from the University of Western Australia have registered the roots of grain seedlings crackling at a frequency of 220 hertz. When other seedlings’ roots were exposed to crackling at this frequency, they oriented their tips in that direction."

 

This has to do with the frequency range of running water, I do believe, as detailed by Monica Gagliano at the latest Treeworks seminar at Kew called 'Transformational Nature'.

 

Curiously, the very same seminar also detailed that each individual cell can 'see'. As in, it can perceive light, and discern particular shapes from said light waves.
