When deciduous trees lose their leaves each year, one of their biggest and most conspicuous characters is lost: their leaves. But all is not lost! Join arborist Casey Clapp, creator and co-host of the tree podcast Completely Arbortrary, in this identification course focused on what the leaves leave behind: the twigs. This course will be an introduction into how to identify trees during the winter time using only their twigs and will feature a quick discussion on what to look for followed by a walk through the arboretum picking out individual trees and examples.
