There are good reasons to be a tree hugger: they provide beauty, shade, and sometimes the bonus of fruit or flowers. More important is the miracle of a tree’s food-making process, photosynthesis, which involves absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in its wood. Trees and plants will store this carbon dioxide throughout their lives, helping to slow the buildup of this gas in our atmosphere that has been rapidly warming the planet.
The discoveries being made about trees are pretty astonishing. Wrap your arms around some pretty cool things about our leafy friends.
