Late summer bloomers, there are several of these trees at GFS. They can be found on the Olympia Hill as well as in the Water Garden and Acer Courtyard. Blooms are crepelike petals in colors of pink, white, or purple. The bark is unique – very smooth and muscle-like in appearance, and in some cases can look more like someone’s arm than a tree.
