Moonlighting at Monticello: Mr. Jefferson’s Tulip – Taking down Monticello’s Tulip Poplar

In this month’s episode of ArborViews, Don Blair joins host Todd Watson to talk about his work on the removal of a historic Liriodendron tulipifera, or tulip poplar, from the grounds of historic Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello home (located in the state of Virginia, U.S.). During the interview, they discuss the challenges, practices, and considerations that had to be accounted for in this large-scale project as well as some of the history behind this tree and grounds.
