The Tree Council are publishing a book to celebrate 10 years of their seed gathering season events. Featuring 80 native and ornamental species, Trees and How to Grow Them gives growing tips and tree trivia as well as lovely colour images of each tree. Find out how to grow a tree from seed, what it's like being a tree warden and lots of facts and figures like where the oldest tree in the world is situated (it's a bristlecone pine, thought to be 4,600 years old, located in the White Mountains of eastern California) and the number of tree species in the world (around 100,000) Wowzer - I love trees. Some of my other favourite books about trees are: The Secret Life of Trees: How they live and why they matter by Colin Tudge, A tree in your pocket by Jacqueline Paterson, Myths of the Sacred Tree by Moyra Caldecott and the Healing Energies of Trees by P. Bouchardon.
