They grow in empty lots, along railroad tracks, even in the cracks of sidewalks. They are wild urban plants, and most of us don’t give them a second glance. But they are important parts of an urban ecosystem. On this episode of Inquiry, we talk with PETER DEL TREDICI. He is a botanist specializing in trees. He retired from Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum after 35 years as a plant propagator, bonsai curator, editor of Arnoldia, Director of Living Collections, and Senior Research Scientist. He is also the author of WILD URBAN PLANTS OF THE NORTHEAST: A FIELD GUIDE.
