DescriptionFifty gorgeously illustrated vignettes of remarkable people whose lives have been transformed by their passion for trees, from Amy Stewart, New York Times bestselling author of The Drunken Botanist. When Amy Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from deeper, more profound motives, such as a longing for community, a vision for the future, or a path to healing and reconciliation. In this slyly humorous, informative, often poignant volume, Stewart brings us fifty captivating stories of people who spend their lives in pursuit of rare and wonderful trees and are transformed in the process.
