For tonight's sleep-inducing talk, I invite you for a long moment in the woods. We explore the origins of plants and how they evolved from microscopic algae to mosses, ferns, seed plants with or without flowers. I also discuss the life cycle of trees, what they are made of, and many aspects that often go unnoticed such as their ability to exchange signals, connect by their roots, develop mutualistic relationships or adapt to different environments. We review extraordinary trees too: Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world, Methuselah, the oldest independent tree (both in California); the Arbol de Tule, the stouter known tree (Mexico), and extremely old clonal colonies like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Pando in Utah.
