Of Heartwood and Woundwood

“Jean Zimmerman has written a touching and engaging story of an unexpected career change into arboriculture and urban forestry. Weaving in her love for history and literature, as well as for trees and especially the women who take care of them, she expertly guides us through urban forests in New York and elsewhere. A devastating disease becomes a source of deepened ties and passion rather than a roadblock. A must-read for professional and nonprofessional tree lovers alike.”
