One of the first to bloom in late winter is Cornus mas the Cornelian Cherry tree, with bright yellow flowers.

The view down a portion of the walk shows Laburnum waterii the Golden Chain Tree with flowers hanging overhead and Magnolia seboldii the Oyama Magnolia blooming in the background.

Trees were selected that would not interfere with the existing power lines like the Pagoda Dogwood show here in full flower.

A tree selected for its interesting leaf color, Cercis Canadensis the Eastern Redbud variety Forest Pansy, has burgundy colored leaves from spring to fall.

Trees were selected for interesting features like Acer griseum the Paper Bark Maple with its peeling bark.

You will find Koelreuteria paniculata the Golden Rain Tree blooming later is the summer.

This delicate fringe of white flowers shows how Chionanthus virginicus the Fringe Tree got its name.

Fall provides us with a show of color along the tree walk. Shown here in late fall is Oxydendrum arboreum the Sourwood Tree.

Many hours of volunteer effort go into maintaining the Small Urban Tree Walk
