How lucky are we of the Delaware Valley to have such a cutting edge arboretum in our midst — and of course an Andrew Bunting who keeps Michael Dirr on his toes!

Thanks for your comments. A lot of the plants we grow are relatively unknown even in the botanic garden world, but an Arboretum is a perfect place to trial these plants and inevitably there will be some real gems like the small seedlings that we got from JC Raulston in 1993 of Poliothyrsis sinensis which today are 25′ tall beautiful flowering trees.

Andrew Bunting, Curator

I am not surprised to read that the Scott Arb. continues to stay at the forefront of the botanic world; even keeping Mike Dirr on his toes. Thanks for sharing this on the web Andrew.
