TREES MUST TALK

I am a beech tree standing proud and bold but I am firmly rooted to the ground and so I cannot move from place to place. I must have a way to communicate with other trees and plants for miles around and keep up to date with what’s going on. So that vast fungal network I must use to receive signals and then to respond. The groundwide web connects from root to root. I may be anchored to this bit of ground but I can talk to others all are around.
