June 30 to July 6 - 'Little Volunteer' Tulip Tree

This week, check out the Liriodendron tulipifera --'Little Volunteer'
Tulip Tree, planted opposite Rushmore Building 61, along Medford Leas Way
on the Medford Campus.

This native tree is in the magnolia family, but the spring blooms resemble
a colorful tulip.  This tree was a gift from a member of the local
community who wanted to honor their sister with the planting of a tree in
the Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve.
