Summary

A tree of many names, the Alaska yellow-cedar (Cupressus nootkatensis) is a quintessential conifer with a plethora of identities. And in this episode, we discuss the wood of conifers, and how it differs from the wood of its harder, more broad-leafed counterpart.


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