The Secret Language of Trees

There's actually 3 trillion trees... I was just testing you all...

As a geologist, I can attest to this based on the fossil record but it wasn't trees that gave the planet its oxygen. It was a variant of algae that yielded out breathable oxygen and it still does today. Trees are not actually that efficient at producing oxygen. We should all take the time to not only thank the trees but that green goo growing in the ocean as well - without it you wouldn't be here.

Seems like science is slowly realizing what Indigenous people have know for generations.

When I was a child many years ago, I grew up in a yard that had five black walnut trees in it(good size yard) There was only a couple of other trees in the yard. A couple of plum trees, no other trees grew there. I found this strange because right across the street from us was a yard ringed by oak trees and the only other tree growing near them was an apple tree. I come from a long line of German wood workers. We make our living from wood and from our knowledge of it. That knowledge starts at the tree. I asked my father about this seperation of Oaks and Walnut trees. He told me at the time 50 years ago, that the trees release chemicals into the soil to stop other trees from growing. He also told me, we aren't the only ones who make a living from trees. So do squirrels. Squirrels plant trees and my Dad said they know where to plant them, and that they tend them like a garden. They will cut down saplings from other trees. I love trees. I am a child of the woods. I grew up in the woods. In the summer my Grampa would take me to cruise the trees to see which ones if any would be harvested in the fall. Dad took me squirrel hunting in the fall,winter ,spring, summer, he was there and hungry. Ma and my Aunt's would take tap maples, and in the winter, a boy could get lost in the forest and find his way out following the track. Trees have secrets but if you sit and listen to them they will tell them to you. Like the time the walnut tree complain to me about being the last tree in the spring to get it's leaves. So I asked him about how he felt about being the first tree in the fall to loose their leaves. Said he didn't like that either.

One day i was walking in the park and I saw a tree trunk all covered with termite. It was a young tree and I was afraid it may die. I spent a long time removing the termite. Made sure it be termite free. Next day I was passing by it and tree shivered from tip to toe. It was rhythmic and musical. I looked at other trees next to it and not a leaf was moving. Since then I love them even more. They communicate

As a Forestry major, I appreciate this. Look up shinrin yoku, freely translated as "forest bathing". We may not be directly connected to the trees, but being surrounded by them, being among them has a positive affect on our mental and physical health.

Watched a video about tree root systems in the forests of north America and Canada. They were communicating with one another despite being many miles apart it was mindblowing. Environmentalists are often called tree huggers. Hug a large tree and you can feel the vibrations and humming coming from within the tree. Trees are so awesome and precious 🙏🙏🙏

They do have a secret language. I have always known this. So have indigenous people. I am a huge support for trees

I am dubious about the claim that communication between trees was only "discovered" in the 1980's... as a child my Grandfather spoke about this and described the process of chemical signals and the underground network of communication through mycelium of fungii. This was over 60 years ago!

Not sure if trees can talk, but they do bark

You are doing a fabulous job bringing this amount of knowledge to us for free. I am a Zoology MS student & i recommend these videos from you to my young nephew who equally enjoys them. ThankYou for your continous efforts!

I am in awe of trees and have been since I was a kid ! Climbing them as far up as I could to see above the canopy and horizon. To make tools by whittling shapes with a pocket knife. To plant them in my yard for their beauty . To marvel at their artistic root shapes and find drift wood to add in my home as artwork ! To tear when a large tree comes down ! I love trees ! ❤

I talk to trees and exchange energy with them. Makes me happy. Trees are my friends.

It is kind of reassuring to know that trees are able to withstand extinction events so well. It means that after humans are gone, the trees will pick up the pieces and regenerate their forests.

Alone the shipment of "hello fresh" has a larger environmental footprint than throwing some cream away... Just go to your local market, buy organic food and avoid any unnecessary container.

I remember when I was in my 20s I always liked to ingest shrooms and go for long walks in the forest. I always saw the life and even personality of different plant lives. This included many trees, and I understood that no two trees are the same. That gave me a whole new perspective on all living organisms.

Not only do I hug trees but I thank them for all that they've done for us and I know they have the intelligence to understand that because even in the 1970s there was a book written called The Secret Life of Plants, which you all here would enjoy. I use them when I really need to ground my energy and be more in my body, when I have a lot of stress I want to unload or an emotional burden. Just lay against that tree trunk and let it all go and ask her to send it back into the fiery core of the earth. It's like free therapy!

I feel happy whenever I go to forest. Triggers the millions of years suppressed instinct, thinking I AM HOME. These forests are our actual homes.

If we adopt a pet, let's adopt a tree. If we give love and hugs. Let's give love and hugs to the trees. A very sincere suggestion. We depend and need nature. Well, nature needs us too. Let's demonstrate our love and respect for nature ❤

This is the real Aiwa sahelu of trees... They can't talk but they can listen and response us when we make the pure Bond. It's not just a theory It's more beyond that...
