The Way of a Tree

Overview


The Way of a Tree is a compelling exploration of the life cycles of trees and their profound connection to the world around them.

With practical advice drawn from decades of experience, the book offers insights into every stage of a tree’s life—from soil to seed, from diagnosing disease to understanding the ripple effects of removal. It highlights unsustainable cultural practices while presenting hope through strategies of restoration—not just for trees, but for all of mankind.

Blending historical context, modern science, and personal reflection, the author examines the value of trees in our landscapes and the future we are shaping through our choices. For readers interested in nature, environmental advocacy, and sustainable development, The Way of a Tree is a thought-provoking and heartfelt guide.

This journey led to The Transcendent Blueprint and the forthcoming third book, Truth, Science, and the Bible, where the author pours his heart into his work. But the journey started right here.

Description


The Way of a Tree is a compelling exploration of the life cycles of trees and their profound connection to the world around them. From ancient forests to the trees lining our bustling streets, this book unearths the delicate balance between human habitation and the natural world.

It offers practical insights into tree care at every stage—from soil health and seedling establishment to recognizing early signs of stress and disease. Drawing on decades of experience, the author shares proven methods for maintaining tree health by emphasizing techniques centered around the shoot-to-root ratio, early intervention, and strategic maintenance practices.

The book reveals how deeply human activity impacts tree growth and survival, warning against unsustainable practices that lead to urban “skeleton forests”—spaces devoid of understory where trees rely on artificial means to survive.

Beyond practical advice, The Way of a Tree delves into the far-reaching consequences of tree removal, examining its ripple effects on soil degradation, biodiversity, and the urban heat island effect. Through real-world case studies, the author demonstrates how communities can restore their urban forests through thoughtful, science-based interventions.

At its core, The Way of a Tree is not just about trees—it’s about the connection between all living things. The book poses broader questions: What do trees—and nature itself—mean in the context of modern life? What kind of future are we building for us and the world?

With rich reflections on history, culture, and science, this book invites readers to become stewards of the natural world, offering them the tools and knowledge needed to restore the environment in which we live.

The insights explored in this book laid the foundation for the author’s later works, expanding beyond trees to uncover the universal principles that govern all systems—natural, intellectual, and spiritual. This journey led to “The Transcendent Blueprint” and the forthcoming third book, “Truth, Science, and the Bible” where the author pours his heart into his work. But the journey started right here.

About The Author


C.D. Olson is an expert, writer, and speaker with decades of experience studying the complex relationships between trees, soil, and their environments. His deep understanding of tree physiology, environmental cycles, and sustainable practices has made him a respected voice in arboriculture and beyond.

Olson’s work focuses on promoting sustainable tree care and fostering a shift in how society views trees—not just as decorative elements, but as integral, living systems that shape and sustain the world around them. When he’s not writing or speaking at industry events, he continues to serve a select clientele, providing expert guidance in tree preservation, long-term health, and natural system restoration.

His long-term vision is to inspire a deeper respect for the natural processes of trees, advocating for practices that align with their true function in ecosystems. This pursuit of understanding and honoring universal principles within nature has also led Olson to explore broader truths beyond arboriculture, culminating in his later works on transcendent principles that govern both the natural world and human systems.
