Fast fact from the video: A mature pecan tree can take in more than 300 gallons of water a day.
Not just saying this because they’re in our ‘hood (TLC’s based in Tuscaloosa), but the video “Why Trees” produced by the Alabama Cooperative Extension is an entertaining and highly informative primer on the many great things trees do for us and our environment.
Yes, it’s loaded with facts and figures, but the lively animation, which shows an artist in time-lapse sequence creating the video’s illustrations, and friendly voice-over will win you over, or perhaps one of your clients in need of a little tree PR.
