This work offers readers insights into the beauty and characteristics of various trees, presenting an intimate exploration rather than a scientific account. The author's love for trees shines through as he seeks to share an understanding of uncommon beauty and the significance of these living beings in our environment. At the start of the book, the author introduces his personal journey of discovering the wonder of trees that he had previously overlooked. He reflects on his experiences with trees, particularly the maples, and emphasizes the importance of observing their blooming cycles and unique features. This initial anecdote sets the tone for the rest of the work, inviting readers to pause and appreciate the aesthetic and emotional value that trees contribute to our lives, while also encouraging a deeper connection with nature.
