Book Review: Around the World in 80 Trees

Jonathan Drori

Laurence King Publishing May 2018

From the trees of Britain, to India’s sacred banyan tree, trees offer us sanctuary and inspiration – not to mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple syrup.

This book is a must read. It profiles eighty trees, each with its own beautifully illustrated entry, details some amazing facts, and describes the astonishing way a tree manages its own wellbeing and enlists the assistance of others. Who knew trees were so clever! This is a book that will appeal to everyone, gardeners and non-gardeners alike
