I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

New tree genus discovered that is related to tomatoes and potatoes - SLRPNK

Scientists have identified a rare Andean forest tree related to tomatoes and potatoes as a plant group never named before. The discovery redraws part of the nightshade family and ties the tree to plant chemicals with medical power.
