 Latin name: Prunus caroliniana

This hardy evergreen tree has alternate glossy leaves which depending on the soil, range in color from yellow-green to a rich dark green.  Fragrant white flowers appear in late winter and early spring and are displayed to maximum advantage against the dense foliage.  These specimens were planted by Mrs. Reed.
