Andrew Leslie, PhD, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown University, will speak at the Weld Hill Building of the Arnold Arboretum on Wednesday, May 3 at 6:30 pm on the topic of Conifer Pollination: Sex Among Evergreens. Cones scattered on the ground beneath an evergreen; hemlock seedlings sprouting through duff…it is easy to find evidence that conifers reproduce. But how do they do it? Andrew  will explain conifer reproduction with a close look at pollen. He will begin in the Weld Hill Lecture Hall and then walk to explore the Arboretum’s conifer collection. Fee $5 Arboretum member, $10 nonmember.
