Adkins Mystery Monday

November 23, 2020 by Adkins Arboretum

You guessed it! Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) produces sunny yellow blooms in November! It grows to about 20 (sometimes 30) feet tall and wide and grows well in sun or partial shade. Any seeds that it produces will open in fall of next year and may take two years to germinate.

Today, we ask you: do you know this evergreen tree? It produces small cones and has short needles. We have several of these trees growing throughout the woods and at Emily’s Play Garden.

I love the nature questions but I do have a request: please show last week’s photo with the answer.
Then you can introduce a new photo, hints and a question for the new week.
Thanks.
