In this episode of Roots of Recovery, we journey through time with three remarkable trees — each a living witness to history, resilience, and quiet strength. From the 4,800-year-old bristlecone pine of California’s high desert to a Civil War-era oak in Gettysburg, and the towering Queens Giant hidden in New York City, these trees are more than just survivors — they are storytellers.

Their rings hold wisdom. Their bark remembers. And their roots ground us in something larger than ourselves.

This is a story about legacy — and what it means to plant something that may outlive us.
