We removed a grove of white pines (above) and a myriad of mature shrubs and trees of questionable provenance to make way for the Leventritt Shrub & Vine Garden and space for 745 new accessioned plants. A P sargentii, namesake of the Arboretum’s founder, was transplanted despite it’s maturity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630531183815-XM4XBKVR442QLJD625DR/replace.a.plant.jpg About Tom The mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to grow all species of woody plants that will tolerate the climate in Boston. To have value to the collection each specimen must grow from seed collected in the wild, even the replacement Sorbus (Mountain ash) pictured here beside a struggling mature tree of the same species. I’m proud to have been one of many to contribute to Harvard University’s collection of woody plants and the oldest arboretum in North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630672317303-QBV3DNALPRZ9OSIPVRS0/CN+pool+and+tennios.jpg About Tom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630671274940-0UV8K5X97XB3F7KLN6RF/IN+gh+nursery+progress+May+2010+007.jpg About Tom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630599035092-6QQ7NU2BOAXXS73RAWC6/Main+House+Parterre+3.jpg About Tom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630599547825-O0V1A11PISH9HC3KUROU/CN+Turf+.jpg About Tom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630600026794-VXQUM1HYL3Q7AQ7BJ4XJ/Northwood+limes+7.jpg About Tom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630599468755-GRRMZSD5Q7HB7KO5H0FU/polo+field+drainage+photos+06+backup+006.jpg About Tom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630769489516-0KR3I9751NQH0PRZKYHP/FF+turf+fix.jpg About Tom - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630674490018-63VILNYZMSK6Z0USO621/Afternoon+garden+1+2014-07-15.JPG About Tom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f2314a30bc727cf605dc2/1630949289834-NXM4EG5IE247K0I77HUH/Cochran.jpg About Tom - Thanks for scrolling this far and if you were wondering about this photo of Haggert S.
