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.

Our evergreen trees don’t change too much during the winter time, but our favorite deciduous trees make a fairly dramatic transformation. Join arborist Casey Clapp of the podcast Completely Arbortrary on an education walk through Hoyt Arboretum focused on how to identify trees using only the clues left behind after their leaves fall away. This course will meander through the arboretum and show you how to identify common trees in our area, and provide a framework for what to look for when trying to identify an unknown tree without using the leaves.
