Mondays with Martha #87 - Winter Bud Basics

Learn about different bud types and what bud characteristics are helpful for telling tree and shrub species apart. For a more in-depth discussion of how to identify woody plants in the winter with several examples of common native and invasive shrub species, check out the webinar I did last week for the Washtenaw County Conservation District: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deajuIimyBI&t=0s
