If you could only plant one tree across America, which tree would it be? I'm thinking for beauty, posterity, utility, adaptability, cost, and of course for the environment.

Using googly eyes to promote “ugly” trees?

Alex & Casey! I recently came across a fascinating study that found that consumers were more likely to buy “ugly” vegetables when they had googly eyes on them or when they were given human names. Two questions: (1) What do you think about applying this to trees that some might consider “ugly” but provide great benefits? (2) If you think it’s an idea worth trying, which tree species would you start with? Thanks! https://grist.org/food-and-agriculture/how-to-sell-an-ugly-vegetable-give-it-googly-eyes/

Tanoak

Hey Casey and Alex, hope you’re both doing well. Have you guys done an episode on the tanoak? Thought that could be a good one. Its taxonomy and relation to other species could make for an interesting episode
