In the title it states trees that live for a thousand years, unbelievably there are records of trees living four times as long, for some trees such as the Yew, their growth patterns mean that dating is extremely difficult, some could be up to five thousand years old and for anyone planting a Monkey Puzzle tree in their front garden it’s salutary to note that it will have 2,000 years more to live than you. Together with a breathtaking selection of photographs depicting trees from all over the world, the book is crowded with facts, history, mythology and science. It also beautifully reflects the awe inspiring nature of these trees, some of which have outlived recorded human history.
