The Trees are Watching

My current theme of research is around how plants and trees communicate. Via mycelial networks, scent trails and electromagnetic messaging trees communicate and function as a community when in a forest, sharing food and resources and warning each other of dangers.

I can’t help but anthropomorphise these eyes - which would actually be where the tree has attempted to grow a new, lower branch in an effort to get more food. Lower branches don’t get light so quickly become redundant and these eyes are left.
