This week on We Dig Plants, hosts Alice Marcus Krieg and Carmen Devito wrap up their season on horticulture in America. They then chat with guest David Milarch, founder of Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, a nonprofit that seeks to replicate the genetic material of the world’s biggest and oldest trees (the ones Milarch calls “champion trees”) and replant them anew, all around the world.
