Friday Fun with Plant Records!

(For a bit of fun, every Friday our Plant Records Manager, Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on our plant collections, will do a regular blog slot where he recommends his favourite “plant records” – that is, songs that are in some way linked to a plant. (Do you see what we did there?) )

‘The Ghost of Stephen Foster’ – Squirrel Nut Zippers (1999)

Our Cashews are fruiting! The nut which we all know and love grows inside a kidney-shaped shell, attached to the ‘apple’ of the cashew. This fruit is edible but we don’t get it over here as the skin is very fragile, making it unsuitable for transport.

The Squirrel Nut Zippers are a band from the States, and this amazing video was put together by the same crew that did the Simpsons, watch, enjoy and dig the nuts!
