For years it was a showplace for the crab apple trees. People were always taking pictures in the spring. We had pink shade when we walked on the sidewalks. I overheard a TA talking to a class say these are "just Hopi crabs." Not a very good kind of crab apple tree. Little by little, with almost constant digging, running new pipes, and construction they were not saved and never replaced. Too bad.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057815012018709970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503528497260685328.post-84310189988011913232012-04-03T13:02:32.886-05:002012-04-03T13:02:32.886-05:00That Hawthorne tree in front of the Red Gym is the...That Hawthorne tree in front of the Red Gym is the state champion tree of that particular variety. The campus has a wonderful assortment of Hawthornes, one of my favorite trees. Thanks for the older pictures of the mall. I have been aware of the loss of trees and how the space always feels kind of junky and under construction and unfinished. Hope you are right and they re-landscape when they finish the gateway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
