With this inspiring collection of tree portraits, Thomas Pakenham has produced a new kind of tree book. The arrangement owes little to conventional botany. The sixty trees are grouped according to their strong personalities: Natives, Travellers, Shrines, Fantasies and Survivors. From the ancient native trees to the exotic newcomers from Europe, the East and North America, Meetings with Remarkable Trees captures the history and beauty of these entrancing living structures."
