Just a few winter images taken at the Arboretum last week. The gorgeous exfoliating bark of Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple) at the entrance to the Haggerty Education Center; there used to be two of them, sadly the one on the left suffered damage during a storm and had to be removed. The fuzzy buds of the Magnolia x ‘Butterflies’ (Hybrid Magnolia) photographed against a bright blue sky. Last but not least, the Barkman Vegetable Garden sleeping under a blanket of snow. In case you’re wondering, that’s the Ficus carica (Fig Tree) all wrapped up in burlap as protection against the winter chill.
