The organic grower's guide to planting, propagation, culture, and
ecology Trees are our allies in healing the world. Partnering with
trees allows us to build soil, enhance biodiversity, increase
wildlife populations, grow food and medicine, and pull carbon out
of the atmosphere, sequestering it in the soil. Trees of Power
explains how we can work with these arboreal allies, specifically
focusing on propagation, planting, and individual species. Author
Akiva Silver is an enthusiastic tree grower with years of
experience running his own commercial nursery. In this book he
clearly explains the most important concepts necessary for success
with perennial woody plants. It's broken down into two parts: the
first covering concepts and horticultural skills and the second
with in-depth information on individual species. You'll learn
different ways to propagate trees: by seed, grafting, layering, or
with cuttings. These time-honored techniques make it easy for
anyone to increase their stock of trees, simply and inexpensively.
Ten chapters focus on the specific ecology, culture, and uses of
different trees, ones that are common to North America and in other
temperate parts of the world: Chestnut: The Bread Tree Apples: The
Magnetic Center Poplar: The Homemaker Ash: Maker of Wood Mulberry:
The Giving Tree Elderberry: The Caretaker Hickory: Pillars of Life
Hazelnut: The Provider Black Locust: The Restoration Tree Beech:
The Root Runner Trees of Power fills an urgent need for up-to-date
information on some of our most important tree species, those that
have multiple benefits for humans, animals, and nature. It also
provides inspiration for new generations of tree stewards and
caretakers who will not only benefit themselves, but leave a
lasting legacy for future generations. Trees of Power is for
everyone who wants to connect with trees. It is for the
survivalist, the gardener, the homesteader, the forager, the
permaculturist, the environmentalist, the parent, the
schoolteacher, the farmer, and anyone who feels a deep kinship with
these magnificent beings.
