Breeding Oak Trees with Oikos Tree Crops

We're joined by Ken Asmus from the infamous Oikos Tree Crops to talk about 40 years of plant breeding, the future of perennial crops. We chat extensively about the work he's been doing around oaks, black walnuts, potatoes, chufa, sunchokes, and many, many more. It's great to hear his thoughts and reflections after decades of work in this field and where he thinks this work will continue to move.
