Letterboxing is a fun way to explore the oaks at the Arboretum. To find the letterbox:
1. Start at the intersection of Forest Hills Road at Willow Path.
2. Take 50 steps down Willow Path toward the Hunnewell Building. On your right is a fleshy hawthorn (Cratageous succulenta). This tree has a lot of bright red fruits but watch out for the long and sharp thorns.
3. Continue down the path another 20 steps to Malus x zumi. Take 50 more steps and on your left is a quince (Cydonia oblonga) with large yellow pomes.
4. Follow the path and wrap around the bed to the left until you reach a group of three crabapple trees.
5. You will find the letterbox hidden in the crook of 1483-80*D. Siberian crabapple (Malus baccata) has one of the largest ranges (north to south) of all crabapples and it is a fine ornamental plant featuring small red fruit.
