How do trees communicate? Find out how trees talk to each other! ✅ Subscribe to One Tree Planted: 🌳 Plant one tree: Can trees communicate with each other? Research has confirmed that trees communicate in the forest, working together to grow, flourish, and avoid threats. They do this through a vast and intricate network of hair-thin fungal filaments called mycorrhiza, just a few inches beneath the soil surface. By analyzing the DNA in root tips and tracing the movement of molecules underground, scientists have discovered that these fungal threads (mycorrhiza) link nearly every tree. These networks allow trees to communicate by sending chemical, hormonal, and even electrical signals. Some trees emit electrical signals when cut down, while others may also emit and detect sounds, and some studies have even suggested that roots grow toward the sound of running water. Trees also communicate thr
