Hi #BlackBotanistsWeek2021, I'm Angie, aka the shotgun scientist, and I study how trees are responding to climate change physiologically. Fav plant is a weeping willow & oak tree, but i have no pics, so here's a beautiful willow oak with spanish moss! #PlantsAroundTheGlobe

Born in Fayetteville, NC in 1868, David Augustus Williston was the first state-appointed African American professor in NC (at what's now NC A&T) and went on to serve as professor of agriculture and superintendent of grounds at the Tuskegee Institute. #BlackBotanistsWeek2021

When you’re a mycoheterotroph, like #GhostPipe, and don’t have chlorophyll, you can be really sneaky. These are growing INSIDE my barn, tapping into the roots of the plants outside!

Morning bike ride! Unscheduled, unsupervised play outside is good for people of all ages. Especially when it involves getting your feet wet and looking under rocks. #nature #streams #getoutside #biking #girlswholookedunderrocks

One of my big #2020 accomplishments was getting 11 (!) #Botanize episodes into the world. This #podcast was entirely recorded from home during my son's naps. 😆 Many thanks to my wonderful guests and the team at #Britannica who made this launch a success! https://t.co/yV96sWHInQ

Read the @nytimes' gorgeous feature on how the trees in forests communicate and cooperate with one another through threadlike fungi known as mycorrhizas: https://t.co/qZ99AnJYAI

Did you know it is best to avoid pruning #oak trees in spring? Transmission season for Oak Wilt disease begins in February & extends through June - so now is the best time to schedule pruning on Live & Red Oaks.

North Carolinians: there's a new fungus among us! Chip cherries (Leratiomyces ceres) had never before been confirmed in NC. Then a few weeks ago, @UNC undergrad Corbin Bryan discovered them right outside our Herbarium building on campus. His observation is a state record! 1/6

With her new book "Herbarium" now on shelves, NYBG's Barbara Thiers joined our friends at @indfnsofplnts this week to dive into the past, present, and future of these important collections. Check out the new episode: https://t.co/GuZJUgovOm

Part one in an attempt to compile a list of plant podcasts, featuring @indfnsofplnts @FieldGuidesPod @plantspipettes @plant_crimes and others #botanyblogs #scicomm #plantblindness https://t.co/U1tuKS02l6

[Preservation Tree @PresTreeServ]

You can have a big impact on the health of our #urbanforest simply by making good #tree planting choices. Diversity grows healthy forests. Think beyond Live Oak, Red Oak or hollies. Plant trees like Chinquipin Oak, Monterrey Oak, Bald Cypress, or Red Maple, to name a few.

Really loving shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) lately. It one of the largest of North America's southern red oaks. It prefers to grow in terraces and other fairly well-drained areas near water 🌳🌰
