We all know that people, animals, insects and birds migrate somewhat easily but for trees that journey is very difficult. They need to migrate if a part of the ecosystem fails or sometimes botanists and explorers move them for their own reasons. St. George gives us a naturalist view of why some tree species have endured through every disaster/disease/drought and also a few species that need to be moved or they will die out forever. He presents the science behind the success of the placement of the trees and also the history of how these trees ended up where they are. Full of interesting people behind the preservation efforts and anecdotes about the five types of trees the book focuses on. I was fascinated to learn of the extent that some of the botanists go to track down why the tree is failing or the efforts to introduce the species to a new area. For all you tree huggers out there or anyone who was fascinated by THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES, this is the book for you. 4 stars
