01-27-24 The Katsura at Dumbarton Oaks - This Old Tree

Host Doug Still introduces you to the charming old katsura tree in Beatrix Farrand’s famous garden at Dumbarton Oaks. It might be the oldest katsura in North America, or maybe not, but its origins relate to the burgeoning interest in Japanese trees and plants in the second half of the 19th century when Japan opened up to the world. Listen in, as the tree receives traditional care from Japanese Master Gardener Kurato Fujimoto.
