Lifecycle of an Acorn at Coed Felenrhyd
Nine Oak trees feature in the opening movement Lifecycle of an Oak based at Coed Felenrhyd - the transposed & composed readings you hear at the start of the Symphony, are from hatching saplings as they leave their acorns like little chicks, growing on a dead tree trunk. Incredible to witness - then onto hundreds of more established saplings, all growing together on the river bank.

For sure, if she had fallen, it would have been to her doom, and so instead, she had intertwined her roots with an oak who was on firm gound. Trees often do this to save eahc otehr, even across species, its called ocsillation.
