Cottonwood tree leaves and cotton, Completely Arbortrary

This week we have our work cut out for us. The black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) is our tree of topic, and there's no getting around it: it's an emotional roller coaster that pulls us in every direction at once. Listen in and make your own opinions on this complicated tree, and stick around for the second round of the Tournament of Champion Trees, with Tobin Mitnik as our guest.

Completely Arbortrary is produced and hosted by Casey Clapp and Alex Crowson
