For My Fellow Tree Nerds

As a horticulturist, I've become almost used to TV and movies completely screwing up plant id. (I'm looking at you, CSI:NY!) So I found this very interesting when I came across it today:

TV shows and community: is it wise to insult us?

Also, "The role of the tree branch was played by a Siberian Elm." Chortle!
