What reading level is What May Be Learned From a Tree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the contrary, when the leaves on the stem and branches are opposite, the pairs being placed at right-angles to each other, as in the Spindle tree and Maple, the descent of nourishing matter from the leaves is necessarily limited to that portion of the stem imme- diately below them, and consequently the young shoots and branches of these trees are square.
Not only the form of the single axis, but also the extent to which it is developed, depends on the leaves ; for when their vital activity i...s enfeebled, no internodes or naked in- tervals of stem are formed between them, the axis is redu- ced to a rudimentary condition, and they become crowded together into little clusters. If the growth of the axis is thus arrested, year after year, it may increase in length slowly ; but there is no increase in its breadth or thickness. A Beech branch now lies on the table before me, and I find that one of its side branches, which is only twelve inches in length, is nevertheless thirty years old, and yet it is not any thicker than one of the young terminal shoots of the same branch, which has grown nearly as much in a single year.
