Summary

How do you see the world? How do you organize the world, all the plants and animals around you? This week we have a discussion about taxonomy that revolves around the gorgeous Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), and it opens a door to an entirely new way to see the world.

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