The Complete Language of Trees is a comprehensive encyclopedia that provides the meanings, powers, information, and folklore for over 400 types of trees—now in pocket size for easy reference. Each entry includes the scientific and common name of the tree, its characteristics, as well as its historical and hidden properties from myths and traditions.
Discover tree folklore, such as:
-
Hackberry Tree – encourages someone to constantly strive to do their best.
-
Manchineel Tree – is so toxic that the smoke from the burning tree can cause blindness, and even inhaling the air around the tree is not recommended.
- The bark from the Bird Cherry Tree was placed on doors during the Middle Ages to ward off plague.
- Washi paper is produced from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry Tree.
-
Pando is a colony of Quaking Aspen that spans 108 acres (about the size of 83 football fields!). Technically, it is a single tree.
Imagine developing a spiritual connection with a tree in a way that goes beyond visual perception. Learning the significance and value of the tree simultaneously enhances your mental and physical well-being. Historically, floriographies—dictionaries of flowers—have gained renown for regulating human emotions and adding depth, symbolism, and meaning to sensitive aspects of nature.
Following the success of The Complete Language of Herbs and its predecessor The Complete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz continues this tradition with The Complete Language of Trees. Combined with two indexes, one for searching by the common name of the tree and another organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly links quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health, developing an impressively documented dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and nature enthusiasts.
