Ever wonder why some trees don't grow straight? It's not just the wind! Discover the invisible forces beneath our feet that shape the forest, and what trees are trying to tell us about Earth's hidden energy.
Hi, I really enjoyed reading this and did not know about it. I was wondering if this depends on the species of tree as some love water. Do we know how it balances the need for warmth and water or would the water not affect the direction of growth as this is absorbed through the roots? A lot of willows near where I leave seems to grow over the stream. Thank you!
Hi Lucy, thank you for reading and enjoying the article. Water veins vary in distance below the surface of the earth, and many of them are out of the tree roots' range. It is not a question of drinking the water; it is a question of how the water blocks or absorbs the infrared emissions from the earth that the tree needs to grow well. When trees, such as willows, grow near or almost over a stream, it is not the water that is blocking the infrared. That water is deeper inside the earth. Does that answer your thoughts? Warmly, Karen
