Trivia

• trees can "talk" to each other through underground fungal networks called mycorrhizal networks, sharing nutrients and sending distress signals.
• trees can sleep! some trees droop their branches slightly at night, likely due to changes in water pressure.
• pando, a quaking aspen in Utah, is a clonal organism composed of over 47,000 "trees" connected by a single root system. it's estimated to be over 80,000 years old.
• some trees change color when days shorten because they stop producing chlorophyll, revealing the reds, oranges, and yellows that were already there all along.
