At the Arboretum – More Trees

A couple more examples of the lovely trees on the Arboretum’s grounds.: A spectacular Acer saccharum ‘Bonfire’ (Bonfire Sugar Maple) ablaze with fall colors and a lovely Heptacodium miconioides (Seven Sons Tree). A small ornamental tree (13-30 feet tall) with interesting exfoliating bark, and small fragrant flowers that bloom in September – the tree is attractive to butterflies and bees. And a Cercis chinensis cv. Don Egolf (Chinese Redbud) showing off her lovely lavender spring blooms, so easy to see because it flowers before the leaves appear.
