You're listening to brains on where we're serious about being curious

So what is your favorite tree?

Um, I don't know maybe oak. Oaks are very cool

I think my favorite is probably a magnolia or maybe a birch. I like the white bark and I love trees

And it's clear our listeners love trees too of all of the questions listeners have sent into brains on

questions about trees are the most common how long does it take for a tree to grow?

How do trees give off all the judge how do you go on to each how do trees grow?

We're going to tackle those questions right now keep listening

You're listening to brains on from mp. R news and Southern California public radio
