Taking us from Lebanon to New Zealand to California, Farmer surveys the complex history of the world’s oldest trees, including voices of Indigenous peoples, religious figures, and contemporary scientists who study elderflora in crisis. In a changing climate, a long future is still possible, Farmer shows, but only if we give care to young things that might grow old."

The paragraph above had me really interested in this book. I got a little bored while reading it though. Overall I learned some stuff and I enjoy reading about trees.

This is not a book to be read in one sitting. Individual parts are beautiful, but together, it can get dull. Read it one section at a time over a few months and you'll love it.
