Did you know trees can communicate?
# beginner #fact #nature
Trees talk. Their roots(корни) are connected through an underground network of fungi(грибы), nicknamed the “Wood Wide Web,” that allows them to share(делиться) resources with each other.

For instance, a mother tree, or oldest and strongest tree in the forest, will share some of her sugars with smaller, nearby trees.

(Plus, it’s kind of a funny thing to say when there aren’t any dairy products nearby, so it often makes people crack a real smile) The practice is mentioned in a 1943 Texas newspaper article, according to Today I Found Out.
