🌳 Trees talk. Seriously. Not with words - but through the mycorrhizal network - a vast underground system of fungi connecting their roots. This isn’t fiction. It’s real science. Dr. Suzanne Simard, a Canadian forest ecologist, was among the first to prove that trees exchange nutrients and chemical signals underground. Her research showed that older trees - “mother trees” - even recognize and nurture their kin. They share water. Send distress signals. Warn neighbours of insect attacks using volatile organic compounds in the air. It’s been called the Wood Wide Web — and it’s changing how we understand forests. At Tree Doctors, we work with this knowledge every day - because Toronto’s trees are more than wood and leaves. They’re part of a living, intelligent system. And when you care for your trees, you’re part of it too. Together, we help Toronto breathe.
