Go to the Arnold Arboretum Visitor Center at 125 Arborway.

Follow Meadow Road toward the ponds.

After passing the cork trees on the right, start following the sidewalk that runs parallel to Meadow Road.

When the sidewalk forks, there will be a Kentucky coffee tree in front of you. If you want to see the pods you have to look high up in the tree.

Continue on the sidewalk, staying to the left of the tree and parallel the road.

When the sidewalks rejoin, turn right and walk 14 paces (into the grass) to another Kentucky coffee tree.

Turn left and walk 30 steps to a large honeylocust with lots of thorns. BE CAREFUL!

Make a slight right and walk 10 steps to a honeylocust with lots of low hanging fruit.

Continue ahead18 more steps to the honeylocust accession #22514*A. The letterbox is hidden at the base of this tree. Read the directions inside and leave everything just as you found it.
