In this episode, Carlsson chats with Sam about one of our favourite topics - indoor trees. From sourcing them across Europe to craning them onto rooftops, it’s a deep dive into what it really takes to bring big trees into interior spaces.

We cover:

- Where indoor trees come from
- What counts as a “mature” tree in a project
- Our go-to species - including the ever-reliable ficus and the beautifully wild shady lady
- How to keep trees alive indoors (spoiler: lots of light and water)
- What happens when you need to get a 5m tree through a doorway…

Sam also shares some favourite projects, why dusty leaves are a big no-no, and the one tree that kept him up at night.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to get trees thriving in built environments - or just want to hear a few fun stories from behind the scenes - this one’s for you.
