Duration:
1 minute, 47 seconds

Val Wilcox shares with us the Cucumber Magnolia Tree, (Magnolia acuminata), at Fairsted, the home and offices of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The tree was a gift from Charles Sprague Sargent, nearby neighbor, friend, and collaborator of Olmsted's.

 
In addition to learning about more plants on Fairsted's cultural landscape, you can also learn more about the historic elm, which originally pre-dated Olmsted's move to Brookline, but was replanted in 2013.
