What does it mean to be a tree? Undead stumps and albino redwoods.

"This is a fascinating article about how some stumps are stay alive by
grafting their roots to other trees. In exchange for the energy derived
from other trees, they provide water siphoned up at night when the other
trees aren’t active. It’s not clear if the grafting happened before or
after the tree was cut down."
