In Episode 7 we take a walk in a Vermont black spruce swamp looking for Dwarf Mistletoe (Arceuthobium pusillum). We also discuss thermogenesis and other species like the southern mistletoe Phoradendron.  Further into the episode we discuss another historically harvested plant for X-mas decorations Climbing Fern (Lygodium palmatum). And toward the end we listen to an infuriating clip from VPR's "All Things Gardening" segment with Charlie Nardozzi and some corrections on wild-harvesting invasive plants and uncommon plant species, in particular (Celastrus).Support the show
