Head down Meadow Road until you past the first pond and are even with the black arbor on the left.
Turn left and walk 21 steps, through the arbor.
Turn left and walk 45 steps so you are next to Corylus heterophylla var. sutchuenensis.
Continue straight, 39 steps past the large, many-stemmed Corylus americana.
Turn left and walk 17 steps to Lindera benzoin f. benzoin and search for the letterbox. Follow the directions inside and leave everything just as you found it.
This parent of the letterbox lindera was grown by J.T. Dawson, the Arboretum’s first propagator. In 1875 he collected seeds from a plant in Amherst, Massachusetts. Did you know that the big pond on this side of the road is named for Dawson?
