Established in 1872, the Arnold Arboretum is the first public arboretum in North America. An arboretum is a living museum of trees, shrubs, and vines (woody plants). In 1882, Harvard gave the Arboretum to the City of Boston, and since that time, has leased it back for $1 per year. The lease is for 1,000 years, with an option to renew. There are 265 acres and over 14,500 woody plants in the landscape. The Arnold Arboretum is part of Boston’s Emerald Necklace park system and was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Some plants that have special appeal in June are on our photo scavenger hunt. The map on the reverse side indicates, by number, the general location of plants on the hunt. Follow the clues below to help you locate and photograph the described tree, shrub or vine. There are 10 plants on the “Hunt.” How many can you find? Photograph what is indicated in bold underline plus the plant tag. 1. Flowers of this early bloomer come out before the leaves. This particular variety is super fragrant. 2. This tree’s bark exfoliates (peels off) giving the trunk a camouflage effect. In June the white flowers are always the center of attention on the Visitor Center lawn. 3. The leaf and flower on this tree is similar in shape to a tulip. Guess its common name. 4. There are many shapes to maple leaves. Look for one resembling a delicate hand (palm). 5. The flowers are long gone on the redbud but the heart shapes leaves are here for the summer. 6. Sassafras tea was made from the bark of the roots of this plant. A North American native, it has four differently shaped leaves, including left and right-handed mittens. 7. What appear to be creamy white flowers are not flowers at all. They are bracts! 8. Another tree with exfoliating bark is just outside the greenhouse gate. Its common name is very revealing, and its cinnamon, peeling trunk is quite unusual. 9. This vines on this Japanese native are climbing up the wall as you enter the Leventritt Shrub & Vine Garden. 10. Find the wooden house up the steps at the top of the Leventritt Garden. This collection of little trees has some of the oldest bonsai in the U. S. Photograph the label on the oldest one. 125 Arborway Boston, MA 02130-3500 Visitor Center 617-384-5209 www.arboretum.harvard.edu
