A sprig of black spruce needles, Completely Arbortrary

Permafrost! Phototropism! Thigmomorphogenesis! Big terms with big ideas abound in this boreal episode of Completely Arbortrary, as we trek through the frozen woods of Canada to find the battered and bendy black spruce (Picea mariana). We even premiere a brand new segment featuring you, our Fungal Associates. Let’s get tipsy!

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