Episode description
This close relative of the Aspen is not just recognizable by its white bark--the White Poplar is iconic for its multicolored leaves with rough, white undersides. Alongside this unique appearance, this tree's historic symbolism in Greek and Roman mythology bears multitudinous themes of beauty and death. Let's dive headfirst into the Underworld and learn about the forests that grow there.
