Description
The smoke from a burning Manchineel tree is so toxic it can blind you; cherry bark was placed on doors to ward off plague; Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony the size of 83 football fields, but is technically one tree. Now in a pocket-size edition, this encyclopedia provides fascinating information about over 400 types of trees. Along with a beautiful illustration, each entry provides the tree’s scientific and common name, characteristics, and historic and arcane properties from myth, legend and folklore.
