Lists of the trees, by common name, and in order of their appearance on the walking tour, may be found at the end of the descriptive text, along with a list of good books about trees and other plants. As trees on the original tour list are removed, we will cross out their names and locations in the text, though the descriptive material remains. If we are able to locate replacements, we will move the map designations and revise the text. We hope you will copy the Tour Map and the notes about the trees, then take the tour, either by car on or foot. Please respect the rights and privacy of property-owners along the tour.
Some people consider Latin plant names a needless complication.
A Latin botanical name consists of two parts. A tree or other plant genus may have many common names, even in one locality. Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1958. Donald Wyman, Garden Encyclopedia, The MacMillan Co., 1971. Thank you for your interest, help, and patience.
