Take a Hike: Winter Botany

For many years, it was believed that trees were dead in the winter. However, the dead of winter isn't dead at all -- millions of tiny apical meristems are growing and forming, folded up neatly in their little buds. It's a time when we must look a little bit closer, but the trees still give us lots of clues about who they are. Want to find out more about the wonders of winter botany? We will use winter clues like bark, buds, and leaf scars to discover trees in a whole new way.
