I HAVE FEELINGS FOR A TREE AND THE TREE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME!

I HAVE FEELINGS FOR A TREE AND THE TREE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME!



baobab trees:


thorn acacia tree:


beech tree:


Like most people, I love trees. There’s no such thing as a bad tree. My favourite tree is the baobab tree, sometimes known as the upside-down tree, found in parts of Africa and Australia. What a brilliant tree!

In his book The Hidden Life of Trees, published in 2015 and an international bestseller with over 500,000 copies sold, Peter Wollheben claims trees have feelings and can communicate with each other. The author looks after a forest, containing many very old trees, near Cologne in Germany, so he knows his trees!

After reviewing scientific evidence, Peter Wollheben claims that trees live in communities to look out for each other. He argues that trees communicate with each other, share food with their own species, warn each other of danger, nurture younger trees, feel pain and even scream.

Scientists have found that thorn acacia trees when being nibbled on by giraffes emit a toxic warning gas, ethylene, which stops giraffes nibbling their leaves and, moreover, warns other nearby thorn acacia trees to start pumping out the gas to protect them from this impending danger.

One scientist, Dr Suzanne Simard, claims that trees have maternal instincts. Older beech trees keep check on the growth of younger beech trees.

Other scientists have found that beech, spruce and oak trees feel pain when their leaves are eating their leaves. They have found that tree leaves on being nibbled send out electrical signals that travel at a third of an inch per minute.

Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research claim that trees scream, for example, when thirsty.

Do you think trees communicate with each other?
Do trees have feelings?
Have you ever hugged a tree?


Below are photos showing my deepening and blossoming relationship with one certain tree. The tree that I now love makes eyes at me, kisses me and even rides a bike to court me!

Do you think trees communicate with each other? Good question

1. I could be convinced that they do.
2. Ditto.
3. Yep, but only when I was posing for a photo........

Baobab trees bear a delicious and highly nutritious fruit. I like a good oak tree too, oh, and a giant fig, red cedar, mahogany. Trees are a much abused and neglected resource.

I think trees have their own type of feeling, after all, they are living things.
I have hugged a tree a long time ago, but I have never wrapped a vehicle around one!

Do you think trees communicate with each other?
Better than we do, sometimes.

Do trees have feelings?
I reckon so.

Have you ever hugged a tree?
Oh yes! My wife and I got to hug a hundred and ten foot tulip poplar several years ago, just before it went down in a storm. It must have been five or six feet in diameter.

These are great pictures, Spunky.

Trees do communicate with each other. .. Mostly with their own species. They do it using chemicals through the soil and air. (I'm working on their "language". lol)

Feelings? .. Tough call. .. Maybe. They certainly have an intelligence.

I've probably hugged a tree, but I wasn't hugged back. .. Actually that would be frightening!

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

Do you think trees communicate with each other? Should the question be do trees think?

Do trees have feelings? They certainly are responsible for generating many feelings.

Have you ever hugged a tree? Yes, and sometimes when climbing them I hugged them very tightly.

Do you remember Old Tom Bombadil and Old Man Willow or Treebeard?

Do you think trees communicate with each other? Yes, it's possible. The roots don't get tangled up with others for instance.
Do trees have feelings? I believe so
Have you ever hugged a tree? I'm worried I might damage them as some of the trees in our park are ancient!

Humans need to be more respectful of nature rather than just trying to control it.

I've drank a juice made from baobab fruit - it was delicious!

There's just something about a tree, especially an old tree. I'd love if they could tell us what they've seen.
