Send us a textThe American Sycamore is one of the most iconic forest trees in the eastern United States and I frequently have friends and family showing me pictures of it asking for its name. But I've held off on covering it for so long because history mostly points to it just being loved as a fantastic shade tree. Turns out, there's a ton human history surrounding this tree exactly because it's such a good shade tree! Hear how we've immortalized this figure in fable, how it softened the rapport of multiple emperors, and why it's such a lonely member of the Plant Kingdom.Music is by Academy Garden (academygarden.bandcamp.com)Cover Art is by @boomerangbrit on InstagramScript Editing and Social Media is by Laurie Hilburn (lhilburn.journoportfolio.com)Follow me on Twitter and Facebook @MyFavoriteTrees and on Instagram @treepodcast
