Abstract
A careful observation of what happens at the base of a tree with rings, between trunk and roots, allows to meditate about the relationship between unity and plurality, complexity and invisibility. However, this reading provides not only the opportunity for a phenomenological approach between botany and philosophy. It raises questions about what goes beyond the only phenomenology and, perhaps, moves it in a way of thinking which is reminiscent of the theme of the tree of knowledge in the early chapters of Genesis.
