WHERE: Parking lot next to Building 72, which is the main building and parking lot for the Dominion Arboretum. It is on the east side of Prince of Wales Drive and can be accessed by turning east at the roundabout along Prince of Wales Drive.
WHAT: This is a joint tour with the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm. It will be led by Robert Glendenning an employee of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The tour will include most species of northern nut trees such as hickory, pecan, hardy English walnut, black walnut, heartnut and some nut tree cultivars. Given that it is mid-season it is expected that nuts will still be visible on producing trees.
