Come Walk Among the Trees….
Our mission is to collect, maintain, and display a diverse palate of native and introduced woody plants for the purpose of educating the public, private, and educational sectors on their benefits, proper identification, planting and potential use in the landscape.
What’s In Bloom Today
The pendulous lily like blooms of Styrax obassia, Fragrant Snowbell are in full bloom today. Fragrant Snowbell is a small tree which can grow from twenty to thirty feet high, with white fragrant flowers. To have such a tree in your yard would be the envy of the neighborhood with its large broad-ovate leaves up to eight inches. This tree is native to Japan, Korea, and Manchuria.
