A wondrous seasonal journey through Britain and Ireland's trees.

Uncover the majesty and minutiae of the arboreal world in forest scientist Dr Gabriel Hemery's illustrated month-by-month guide - including tree folklore and traditions, recipes and crafts, key dates, curiosities to spot, notes on wildlife and scientific marvels from the trees that surround us.

From bare branches to budbursts, the first leaves to the first blossom and the great autumn colour-change, the Tree Almanac celebrates with joyous detail all that trees give us - whether ancient or urban - and inspires us to reconnect with nature.
