This story is so engaging. The trees like us humans have been given different attributes like virtue, selfishness and it is through this moral tapestry that their dialogue, conversation and character unfolds
This stanza is sticking with me. I’ve re-read it so many times and want to come back and read it more. Obviously its context grants power but the image itself is gravitational and exquisite. Well done as always.

Thank you Aditi. That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
“Around Djed’s buttressed feet,
encircling its stupendous bole,
a fairy ring of six saplings,
six redwoods newly grown,
sprouted from the knucklebones
of Djed’s dying roots, arose
fast as fungi’s fruiting bodies.”

Thank you Zane. I appreciate that. It's one of my favorite sections too.
You made the trees come alive. Enjoyed
Thank you William
