Smologies #42: TREES with J. Casey Clapp

Do trees have feelings? How do they talk? Which trees can you use to make syrup? Do bananas really grow on trees? Possibly the world's most enthusiastic tree expert, J. Casey Clapp, explains what makes coastal redwoods the coolest trees, how roots communicate with each other, and why a tree is like a cup of tea. Plus: bonus guest appearance by our friends (and the trees’), fungi.   Follow Casey Clapp on Instagram Listen to his podcast, Completely Arbortrary: https://linktr.ee/arbortrarypod/ A donation went to EcoTrust.org Full-length (*not* G-rated) Dendrology episode + tons of science links More kid-friendly Smologies episodes!
