The guest on this episode of rootbound is Sea Matias. First, questioning trees and a bit of insular woodiness. Then Sea explains their favorite tree, bast, cambium and the definition of obliquely cordate. Steve follows up with some big tree talk and a club that wouldn’t have him as a member. Finally, top ten live oak names and a poem by Walt Whitman.
