Synopsis

Each tree species is unique, from the venerable oaks in Western forests to the emblematic baobabs of Africa, from the olive trees of the Mediterranean to the exotic palm trees.

Trees have accompanied man since the dawn of time, providing food, healing, shelter, and wood for fire or building materials. However, this relationship is contradictory, moving from symbolic respect to senseless destruction.

In each episode, several personalities, from scientists to park rangers, expose a species, from its characteristics to its history and what it brings to man.
