Wonders of Winter: Tree Tales

Leafless trees and shrubs are not just resting all winter - they are actively protecting themselves and preparing for spring. It also might surprise you to learn that winter is an ideal time to study trees and shrubs; the absence of leaves makes it easier to take a closer look at buds, bark, and branch structure. Learn tips to identify trees and shrubs in winter, and the adaptations that help woody plants spend the colder months in a dormant state.
