Solid oaks: Of all the trees in all of our yards, the mighty oak is extra special, according to Doug Tallamy, professor of agriculture and natural resources at the University of Delaware. In his latest book, The Nature of Oaks, Tallamy explains how oak trees support more life forms than any other tree genus in North America. (For instance, an oak produces millions of acorns during its lifespan, and interacts with over 800 caterpillar species.) He will answer questions about his research during a virtual talk hosted by the Piedmont Master Gardeners and Virginia Cooperative Extension.
