What kind of information do they share?

Trees can share information about pests, diseases, and even send signals to warn neighboring trees of danger.

Do all trees communicate in the same way?

Not all trees communicate the same way; different species may use various methods, including chemical signals and root connections.

Can trees help each other survive?

Yes, trees can support each other by sharing resources like water and nutrients, especially in challenging environments.

Is this communication similar to how animals communicate?
