Abstract
An assumption of long standing, widely accepted by plant scientists, is that trees function as discrete physiologic units, often in competition with other individuals of the same or different species. For most ecologists, this is a concept basic to their understanding of plant-environment interrelationships. Yet, concurrent with the evolution of this concept, there have been in the literature continuing reports of natural root-grafting, a phenomenon which brings into question the view that each tree functions as an individual entity.
