It’s in the roots, not the branches, that a tree’s greatest strength lies. There’s some wisdom in understanding the nature of plant and tree roots and so much Can be said about their function. The most important work in order to for our flora to carry out growth, production and yield good fruit is happening in the unseen realm. You may know that healthy roots keep plants and trees anchored in the Earth, and store up what that organism needs to thrive. However, you may not ...know that good root stocks speak to after. For instance, trees in forests communicate and trade resources with each other to build resilience, attract allies, ward off predators, and promote each other’s well being!
