Zane Moore

Zane Moore, a plant biologist specializing in the genetics and ecology of redwoods, joins to unravel the mystery of albino redwoods with their ghostly white leaves. He contrasts the growth of typical coast redwoods with the puzzling existence of these non-photosynthetic sprouts. Zane shares his extensive research, cataloging over 700 albino redwoods and discusses their unique survival strategies, including a fascinating toxin reservoir theory. The hike to observe one first-hand reveals the striking beauty and public curiosity surrounding these rare trees.
