Tree Climbing Competitions Are Key

We’ve talked about the industrial athletes in arboriculture in episode eight. Join us this week as we discuss the various tree climbing competitions that occur around the world. Not only are these events a venue for competition, but they are also a great learning environment.

Species Spotlight

This week’s tree is one of my favorites. Montezuma baldcypress, Taxodium mucronatum, can be evergreen, semi-evergreen, or deciduous depending on the growing location. This tough, Texas native should be on your short list for planting in USDA Hardiness Zones 8, 9, and 10. Tune into this episode of #TreesAreKey to learn more about this awesome tree.
