Get hyped for round two of the USC tree tour, led by SCO’s resident tree enthusiasts and amateur dendrologists, Sophia and Sedona. All summer we’ve been learning more about trees, and we’re excited to present our new and improved tree tour, this time with MORE TREES. In addition to the iconic 150-year-old dragon tree, Sequoia sempervirens, and Native California Sycamores, this time we’ve also got TULIP TREES, silk oaks (also known as silky oaks), and floss silk trees in bloom with their spectacular pink flowers…. and more!

This is a FREE member event, so no registration is necessary, just make sure to become a member before attending. We can’t wait to see all of you and share our tree enthusiasm. This event will be accessible to those with mobility devices as we are staying on pavement and level ground.
