Completely Arbortrary - a podcast about trees! Each episode they do a deep dive into one specific tree species, as well as one other tree-themed topic that is related to that episode’s tree. It’s great!

Hope you like it! I’ve become obsessed with trees since moving to RVA a couple years ago, and listening to the podcast has been super fun.

Word of warning though: the hosts are located in Portland, OR, and therefore have a bit of a west coast bias. For example, they admit that they generally like conifers more than hardwood trees - which is pretty clearly a wrong opinion if you ask me. They also get some facts wrong every once in a while when it comes to some of our local trees. But they’re generally very interesting and entertaining!

I too have strong opinions about slightly irrational things and I respect your bias towards hardwoods.

Wait, are you me? I stumbled across a chestnut tree soon after moving here and it absolutely lit up something in my brain!

Do yourself a favor and purchase a copy of the Sibley Guide to Trees.
