Painting With Nature (Japanese Cherry)
Kon'nichiwa! This week we jet over to Japan to discuss a gorgeous, renowned, and cultivated-like-heck tree, the Japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata). Dive deep into cultivar(ism) with us while we talk about Shinto, picnics, and painting with nature. As always, we finish the whole shebang with a listener question.

The Perfect Flower (Southern Magnolia)
It’s the end of our first season and, to celebrate, we’re talking about a blooming beauty with a perfect flower, the Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora). Mr. Bean beetles, ancient sex organs, and one intelligent flower that knows how to get it done. Then we play a fun game about ancient Greek gods and answer a listener question. See you next season!

Yee-Haw! (Ponderosa Pine)
This week we head out west and marvel at the orange-clad giants of the pine world, the ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa). We dive into one of the most interesting weather phenomena in the world, the rain shadow effect, and chat about how seemingly unrelated patterns of geology and weather change who grows where. Then, you guessed it, we ruminate on the nature of sasquatch.

Customer Reviews
Trees!
After listening to the Dendrology episode of Ologies, I fell down a tree rabbit hole. When Casey said on her follow up episode that this podcast was starting, I literally squealed in delight. This is just good, wholesome content. I honestly can’t get enough. There’s so much I never knew I needed to know about trees!
Literally the best podcast ever made
Period.
All my favorite things!
Quirky dudes vamping about trees trees trees! Scientific knowledge along with “everyone’s” view of Earth’s most valuable family member 🌲💛 I laugh, I swoon, I can’t wait to hear which tree will be reviewed next week! Thank you so much, Casey & Alex!
