Butternut Tree

Season 7 Episode 20 | 26m 25s

Martin and Chris stumble upon a rare and endangered seedling of a butternut tree. While looking for its parent tree, they only discover dead and broken ones. Finally, they find a big healthy tree and begin a Creature Power Investigation into why some of the trees are dying and some aren’t. Could genetic coding be the answer?
