Trees of Power: Ten Essential Arboreal Allies Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

The organic grower's guide to planting, propagation, culture, and ecology.

Trees are our allies in healing the world. Partnering with trees allows us to build soil, enhance biodiversity, increase wildlife populations, grow food and medicine, and pull carbon out of the atmosphere, sequestering it in the soil. Author Akiva Silver is an enthusiastic tree grower with years of experience running his own commercial nursery. In this audiobook, he clearly explains the most important concepts necessary for success with perennial woody plants.

It’s broken down into two parts: the first covering concepts and horticultural skills and the second with in-depth information on individual species. You’ll learn different ways to propagate trees: by seed, grafting, layering, or with cuttings. These time-honored techniques make it easy for anyone to increase their stock of trees, simply and inexpensively.

Ten chapters focus on the specific ecology, culture, and uses of different trees, ones that are common to North America and in other temperate parts of the world:

  • Chestnut: the bread tree
  • Apple: the magnetic center
  • Poplar: the homemaker
  • Ash: maker of wood
  • Mulberry: the giving tree
  • Elderberry: the caretaker
  • Hickory: pillar of life
  • Hazelnut: the provider
  • Black Locust: the restoration tree
  • Beech: the root runner

Trees of Power fills an urgent need for up-to-date information on some of our most important tree species, those that have multiple benefits for humans, animals, and nature. It also provides inspiration for new generations of tree stewards and caretakers who will not only benefit themselves, but leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

Trees of Power is for everyone who wants to connect with trees. It is for the survivalist, the gardener, the homesteader, the forager, the permaculturist, the environmentalist, the parent, the schoolteacher, the farmer, and anyone who feels a deep kinship with these magnificent beings.

    Great book! This should be available in all schools and homes.
    The author has a wonderful approach on life. I already loved trees, but reading him made me look at them in many other ways.
    This is one of my most beloved books now, along with The Conversation (by the same author) which is my favourite book.
