ACORN-EATERS (WHITE OAK)

Written By Alex Crowson
 

This week we bring you the Tom Hanks of the trees, the white oak (Quercus alba). We take a deep dive in how this ubiquitous tree has been a cultural icon since before the "first Thanksgiving" and see how it has maintained a reverence unlike almost all others.

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