Being an Oak. The Fascinating History Beneath the Bark of Quercus— Laurent Tillon

“What are trees? We will have to answer this seemingly simple question by taking a direct interest in them, but also in the forms of life with which they interact. They have not always been large and thick or of monumental size. We will have to go back in time.”

Trees also have a history, which they tell to all those capable of paying attention to the small signs inscribed on their bark, to the shape of one of their branches, or to the friendship they keep with their neighbors. Laurent Tillon introduces us to this exciting story through Quercus, a large, two-hundred-and-forty-year-old sessile oak, in an adventure full of unpredictable twists, silent battles, unexpected alliances, plunderers and parasites, storms, and betrayals.
