Trees Actually Can Talk to Each Other
Trees are much more active than I ever dreamed. For one thing, they communicate with each other. This was verified in the 1970’s by a scientist proving when one tree was attacked by insects, which the scientist provided, hundreds of yards away was another tree of the same species producing the same chemicals toxic to those insects even though it did not have any insects yet.
Trees Have Enemies
That is how trees fight back; chemical warfare. The tree under attack warned the other tree and both responded appropriately. This has since been confirmed hundreds of times and to the surprise of scientists, we now know there is similar communication that occurs between different species. In fact, that is the fourth commonality of all living things: communication.
Nothing Not Perfect
The exchange of needing carbon dioxide and having our precious oxygen as a tree waste product is not coincidence either. The beauty, the sophistication , the flowing interactive systems of life and timing is something so magnificent, we have yet to comprehend the scope of this infinite puzzle, but there is nothing in the world that should prevent us from celebrating the obvious power and beauty that is ours to enjoy.
Better yet, walk up to the tree, feel it, touch the leaves and realize you are touching tangible evidence of a great invention from a mind far greater than our own.
