Winter Tree Identification

Thursday, January 24th, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Learn to recognize the characteristics of native and common woody plants in the winter. While in their dormant and leafless state, trees and shrubs can be identified by bud types, leaf scars, fruit remnants and other distinguishing marks. Specimens are examined in class, slide photos will be shown and forays around the Arboretum grounds will be taken.
