Feeling stressed? So is the poplar

We are not the only ones who are feeling stressed nowadays. Believe it or not trees can also be stressed as well! They can get streesed by either having too much water or not enough water. Research done by Michigan University has found out the main reasons why this keeps happening to all trees. People are thinking about selectively breeding trees to help them cope with stress.

I thought this was so weird that trees could get stressed out!
