July 28 to August 3 Crepe Myrtle

The end of July brings about the blooming of the Crepe Myrtle trees in our Arboretum.

These trees, which are native to southeast Asia, feature colorful and long-lasting flowers in various shades of pink, and white.  The botanical name for the tree in the Atrium on the Medford Campus is Lagerstroemia Indica.

As you are enjoying watching the turtles cool off in the pond, take a minute this week to enjoy the lovely blooms on this tree.
