The Complete Language of Trees is a comprehensive encyclopedia that offers meanings, powers, facts, and folklore for over 400 types of trees. Now available in a pocket-size edition for easy, on-the-go reference, each entry provides the tree's scientific and common name, characteristics, and historic and hidden properties from mythology, legends, and folklore. Discover the lore of trees, including the Hackberry Tree, which encourages someone to continuously do their best, the Manchineel Tree, which is so toxic that the smoke from a burning tree can cause blindness, and the Bark from the Bird Cherry Tree, which was placed on doors during medieval times to ward off plague. Washi paper is created from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry Tree, and Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony that is 108 acres wide, about the size of 83 football fields! Imagine developing a spiritual connection with a tree in a way that exceeds visual perception; where learning its meaning and value simultaneously improves your own mental and physical wellness. Throughout history, floriographies—flower dictionaries—have gained notoriety for regulating human emotions and giving depth, symbolism, and meaning to extremely delicate 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 custom with The Complete Language of Trees. Coupled with two indexes, one for searching by common tree name and the other organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly connects quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health by developing a stunningly depicted dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the natural world.
