Paul Evans investigates the world of phoenix
trees, plants which could potentially live forever. Instead of growing old
and dying, trees of many species are capable of re-inventing themselves by
re-growing from slivers of bark, rooting down into their own rotting trunks
or even growing from branch tips and walking across the landscape over
thousands of years. Paul meets the scientists studying these trees and the
remarkable partnership they have with fungi.
