The Queen of Trees

Mark Deeble & Vicky Stone

Learn the common, yet remarkable, story of an African fig tree and the special, interdependent relationship it has with a tiny insect partner. Each fig is a microcosm of life with the stage set for birth, sex, and death as the tiny players battle against predators and parasites to fulfill their mission. The Queen of Trees details one of the most amazing stories in the natural world—one filled with intrigue and drama and set against a backdrop of grand Africa.
