Publisher's Synopsis
This book is an introduction to trees and how they grow. It describes what sort of plants trees are, where they grow, how they make their own food, and the variety of trees around the world in different environments. It also shows how trees support other forms of life as a living home. Following a look at how we use trees (eg timber, fruit, latex), the book shows readers how to grow their own tree from the pips of an apple.
The book includes tree fact boxes that highlight additional information, and a glossary and index. It is illustrated with full colour photos throughout.
