Who said trees aren鈥檛 exciting? Enthusiasts will revel in Edward Menninger鈥檚 updated edition of Fantastic Trees (Timber Press, $29.95, ISBN 0 88192 324 9). As readers leaf through a museum of arboreal curiosities, they encounter sex-changing sago palms from Florida, trees capable of flowering underground and the elephant tree to name but a few. A pity that the accompanying photographs are not in colour.
