100 Maine Plants - Ep. 8: Species 44-49

*timestamps in comments* - This time we go over 5 more plants found in a mixed-deciduous forest: 3 flowering herbs, 1 fruiting shrub and 1 very unique coniferous tree.

Plus, 2 Mini-Lessons about "Learning to Use Plant Guides" and the phenomenon of "Coppicing" -- a unique growth trait that humans have been able to harness since pre-history and why it should make a comeback in the Northeast.
