Pull up a log — this one’s best told with the fire low, the night thick, and everyone leaning in a little too close. You’ve heard stories about haunted houses, cursed forests, ghosts that wander old roads… But nobody ever warns you about the things that stay behind after a tree dies. It started with a dead oak. Cut down…

But here’s the part most homeowners never hear: a plant’s ability to move water isn’t constant throughout its life. Transpiration—the process of pulling water from the soil and releasing it through the leaves—rises, peaks, and eventually declines as a tree ages. Understanding these…
