Join natural historian Jono Miller ina wide-ranging and surprising exploration of what these common native palms are all about. Jono will cover their unique approach to growth, a number of counterintuitive paradoxes, the wide variety of wildlife species that utilize them, and the curious cracker dish called swamp cabbage.
