Hamilton, Ohio Municipal Arborist David Bienemann gave
a tour of the trees of Bowling Green State University. He
says, "Some of the more interesting specimens we saw were
Kentucky coffee tree (Gymnocladus dioicus), thriving in a
tough site; baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) thriving in wet
areas; swamp white oaks (Quercus bicolor) shining all over
campus; river birches (Betula nigra) in fine yellow fall color; and
a seven-son flower tree (Heptacodium miconioides) was the
most unique specimen on the tour." Photo by Leslie Berckes
