The Mountain Gardener: Tree beauty, functionality important for any home
The other day I visited the campus of Stanford University to view something from their archives. The campus is beautiful with flowering trees in bloom everywhere you looked. I was told by a colleague that Stanford has a huge collection of trees, some planted back in the late 1880's when the university was first built and the landscaping installed. The designer, the famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, also created New York's Central Park. I wanted to find a mature specimen of a California native, the Catalina Ironwood, which is listed in their “Encyclopedia of Stanford Trees, Shrubs and Vines.”
