Winter Botany in the Ozarks

From the Arkansas Native Plant Society features Eric Fuselier, an environmental scientist, discussing winter botany. Fuselier explains that even in winter, plant identification is possible using various clues. He covers identifying evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, and vines through their bark, twigs, leaf scars, fruits, and seed heads. He also discusses herbaceous plants and their winter characteristics, including persistent seed heads and frost flowers. Finally, he recommends several books for further reading on the subject.
