Episode 95: The Tupelo (ft. Doug Still)

On this special field trip of an episode, I join arborist and host of the podcast, “This Old Tree,” Doug Still on a hike through some Tupelo groves on Cape Cod. Together, we learn about the natural habitat of these trees, why they’re so loved in Spring and Fall, how the folks on Martha’s Vineyard came up with a unique nickname for them, and how modern humans have shaped the landscape of scenic Cape Cod.

Want to hear more from Doug? Check out his podcast, This Old Tree on your podcast app of choice or on his website: thisoldtree.show
