The Secret Life of Trees

An exploration of the secret lives of young trees revealing how they magically transform.

Arriving at adulthood is a major milestone in a tree's life; some fruit trees get there early, maturing at as young as five years old, whereas some trees like North American hemlocks can take 300 years to become an adult.

We discover how trees can extend their lives by 'walking' across the land and planting new roots, how they can 'learn' from trauma, and how a decaying tree has the miraculous ability to nurture new life.
