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
Bright yellow hues of Cornus mas, Cornelian Cherry begin to enhance the landscape at Draves Arboretum. Developing into a large shrub or small tree expect a landscape footprint of twelve to twenty-five feet tall and wide. Native to western and southern Europe through southwestern Asia, this plant is very disease and insect resistant. Old trunks will be doling out exfoliating bark providing seasonal landscape interest.
