Find out how tree planting works at the Arnold Arboretum and look on as Arboretum staff plant an Eastern Redbud, a tree the Arbor Day Foundation calls the “harbinger of spring” due to its early-blooming pink flowers. From collecting the seed, to growing the tree in our greenhouses, to finally planting the tree and taking care of it throughout its young life, a lot of work goes in to tree planting here at the Arboretum. Horticulture staff Rowan Payne-Meyer, Ryan Devlin, and Peter Dias will talk us through the process as we celebrate Arbor Day by planting one of our own beautiful Redbud trees.
Meet at Linden Path just before entrance to Leventritt. (For an exact location pin, visit our website linked below.)
