Is this twig smooth or wooly, this end bud hairy, leaf scars narrow? Speak the language of Winter Tree ID in this immersive learning opportunity with Naturalist Carlton Burke. Trees take on a whole new dimension in winter with the usual methods of identification less obvious. Learn techniques for identifying trees in the winter months based on silhouette, bark, buds, leaf scars, twigs and other distinguishing characteristics.
